Nulsen is a western suburb of Esperance, a town in south-eastern Western Australia. Its local government area is the Shire of Esperance.
The suburb was gazetted in 1971, initially including the entire neighbouring suburb of Sinclair, which was separated in 1985.[2][3] Originally designed as a State Housing Commission (now Homeswest) project, Nulsen was named for state Labor MP Emil Nulsen, who sat in the Legislative Assembly from 1932 until 1962, and represented the Esperance area from 1950 onwards. At the 2021 census, Nulsen's population was recorded to be 1,083.
