Nancy Ann Ryles (December 18, 1937 – September 12, 1990) was an Oregon politician.

She served in the Oregon House of Representatives, the Oregon Senate and as one of three members of the state's Public Utility Commission.

She was known as an advocate for education and for equality for women and minorities.

She was survived by Vernon Barton Ryles (September 25, 1937 – August 7, 2013) and two children, Scott Allen Ryles and Ashley Marie Ryles.

Friends of Ryles established a women's scholarship program at Portland State University in her honor, the Nancy Ryles Scholarship Fund.

The program had been Ryles' own idea.
