Melvyn Tudor George Nurse (born 11 October 1937) is a Welsh former professional footballer.
A centre-half, he started his career at his hometown club Swansea Town and made his professional debut in 1956. He joined Middlesbrough in 1962 for a club record fee of £25,000 and later played for Swindon Town.
During his career, he also represented Wales at under-23 level and gained 12 caps at senior level. After retiring from football, he built a property portfolio that included several hotels and businesses in the Swansea area before, rejoining the football club as a member of the board.
In 2011, he led a consortium in a takeover that is credited with saving the club from financial ruin.
His lifelong association with the city of Swansea has seen him often referred to as "Mr.
Swansea".
