Nyle DiMarco is an American model and actor. In 2015, he won the 22nd and final season of America's Next Top Model and was the only deaf contestant to ever compete on the show. He will be one of the celebrity contestants on season 22 of Dancing with the Stars in 2016.

DiMarco was born in Queens, New York. He comes from a deaf family with his parents, both of his brothers, and his grandparents all born deaf. His parents divorced when he was young and his mom raised the children alone. He grew up in Frederick, Maryland, and graduated from Gallaudet University with a degree in mathematics. DiMarco lives in New York City. He considers American Sign Language (ASL) to be his native language and is also proficient in lip reading and nonverbal communication.

DiMarco was doing freelance modeling for about a year before he was contacted by America's Next Top Model producers. They scouted the 25-year-old via his Instagram account without realizing he was deaf. He was named the winner of the season after competing against Mamé Adjei in the series finale. He was the only deaf contestant in the show's history, and the second male to ever win. DiMarco is now currently signed with Wilhelmina Models in New York City.

DiMarco acted in a leading role for an independent film On the Can...again under ASL Films production, a movie told in American Sign Language with English subtitles. He played the recurring role of Garrett Banducci in Switched at Birth on the Freeform network.
