Musa Sani Nuhu (born 26 November 1969) is a Nigerian career diplomat and ambassador who served as Nigeria's Permanent Representative to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) from 2020 to 2025. He is the only West African diplomat to have chaired both the Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC) and the Administration and Finance Committee (AFC): the two principal technical organs covering all aspects of the ECOWAS system.

Nuhu is known for his role in ECOWAS institutional reform, coordinating engagements between ECOWAS and the African Union during the period of political realignment in West Africa (2020–2024), and for multilateral institutional processes within ECOWAS during the Sahel political crisis.
