Nancy Laura Spungen (; February 27, 1958 – October 12, 1978) was the American girlfriend of English Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and a figure of the 1970s punk rock scene.
Spungen's life and death have been the subject of controversy among music historians and fans of the Sex Pistols. Raised as Jewish in Philadelphia, Spungen was an emotionally disturbed child who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 15.
After being expelled from college, she went to London at the height of the punk rock craze and became involved with Sid Vicious.
Their relationship was punctuated by bouts of domestic violence and drug abuse.
The press soon labelled Spungen "Nauseating Nancy" for her shocking behavior.
After the Sex Pistols disbanded, the couple moved to New York City and checked into the Hotel Chelsea where they spent their time consuming drugs.In October 1978, Spungen was found dead in the bathroom of the couple's room, of a single stab wound to the abdomen.
Sid Vicious was charged with her murder, but died of a heroin overdose while on bail in February 1979, before the case went to trial.
Various authors and filmmakers have speculated about Vicious's role in Spungen's death and the possibility that Spungen was killed by a drug dealer who frequently visited their room.
