Nicholas Gerard Loftin, known professionally as Nick Fury (or simply Fury), is an American hip hop record producer. He is known for producing Houston-based rapper Lil' Flip's 2004 hit single "Game Over (Flip)", which peaked at number 15 in the US Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In January 1996, Loftin relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to produce soul, hip hop and R&B music. He has produced singles and albums for high-profile music industry acts, including Lil' Kim, Wu-Tang Clan, T.I., E-40, Nick Cannon and Trina, and remixed "One Love" and "It Ain't Hard to Tell" for the tenth anniversary edition of Nas' Illmatic album. He has contributed to soundtracks to 2001 films The Fast and the Furious and Osmosis Jones, and 2005 film The Longest Yard.

In 2014, Loftin, together with Fadale Northan and Frisco Rivera, produced the theme music and instrumentals for the former world champion boxer Willy Wise workout DVD, W3P: Willy Wise Workout - 3 Degrees of Power.{{Cite press release |date=April 15, 2016 |title=Theme Music and Youtube Video to Champ's Workout DVD Pushes Sales |url=https://www.newswire.com/news/theme-music-and-youtube-video-to-champs-workout-dvd-pushes-sales-10233229 |access-date=October 6, 2023 |website=www.newswire.com |language=en}}
