Shuichi Nosé (能勢 修一, Nose Shūichi; June 17, 1951 – August 17, 2005) was a Japanese physicist. Nosé is best known for his two 1984 papers in which he proposed a method to specify the temperature of molecular dynamics simulations. This method was later improved by William G. Hoover and is known as the Nosé–Hoover thermostat.
