Nicola Marschall (1829–1917) was a German-American artist known for his work as a portrait painter and his involvement in designing the first Confederate flag and uniform. Born in St. Wendel, Germany, Marschall immigrated to the United States in 1849, settling in Marion, Alabama, where he became a prominent figure in the local community and throughout the South for his artistic contributions.

Marschall's artistic talent was evident from a young age, and he received his initial training in art in Frankfurt before moving to the United States. In America, he quickly established himself as a skilled portraitist, capturing the likenesses of many notable figures of his time. His work was characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a classical approach to portraiture, which earned him a considerable reputation and numerous commissions.

Perhaps Marschall's most historically significant contribution was his design of the "Stars and Bars," the first national flag of the Confederate States of America, which was adopted on March 4, 1861. Although there is some debate among historians about the extent of Marschall's involvement, he is widely credited with the flag's design. Additionally, Marschall is believed to have played a role in designing the gray uniform of the Confederate Army, further cementing his legacy in American Civil War history.

Throughout his career, Marschall remained active in the arts community, and his works were exhibited in various venues, including the Paris Exposition of 1867. After the Civil War, he continued to paint and teach art, influencing a new generation of Southern artists. Nicola Marschall's legacy is preserved through his portraits, which provide a window into the antebellum South and the turbulent era of the Civil War, as well as through his contributions to the iconography of the Confederacy.

Marschall's life and work have been studied by historians and art scholars, and his paintings are held in several museums and private collections. His role in American history and art makes him a figure of enduring interest, and his contributions to the cultural heritage of the United States continue to be recognized and debated.
