Nanny Elisabet Still McKinney (Helsinki, July 31, 1926 – Brussels, May 7, 2009) was a Finnish designer. She graduated from the Helsinki Arts and Crafts School and worked as a designer at the Riihimäki glass factory from 1949. There she designed both art glass and utility glass for mass production. Her early works in the 1950s were in the abstract style of Scandinavian modernism. Her best-known work, the Flindari glass series, was created in 1963.

However, she also worked with other materials. In 1954 she received a prize at the Milan Triennale for a wooden salad set. She also designed metal cutlery. In 1973 she created the Mango series for the Finnish company Hackman, and in the 1990s a series of cast iron pots.

In 1959 she moved to Belgium and also worked for tableware manufacturers in Central Europe, such as Cérabel and the German manufacturers Rosenthal and Heinrich Porzellan.
