No such beast was ever made. Nor will it ever be made. M4/3's is ONLY made by Panasonic and Olympus

I think he means a Nikon lens to Micro 4/3 adapter. Several brands are available. I have one from Fotodiox. MetaBones makes the best ones (and also SpeedBooster adapters that reduce focal length and concentrate the light on the smaller sensor).
To the OP:
Strait up, converting your full frame Nikkors to m43 is likely to disappoint. I have several from my film days (1960s through 1990s). They were fine film lenses, but are not corrected properly for m43 sensors. My son is using them, but wants real m43 glass. He's hogging my 30mm macro lens now...
It's best to save and buy new glass for the new format in your life. Advantages include OIS and Dual IS and Dual IS 2 or IBIS where supported, plus autofocus, auto diaphragm, and proper communication with the camera body. The adapters won't provide that.
One of the main reasons to use native glass is that chromatic aberrations are corrected automatically by the camera when it processes JPEGs. The correction is better than that in Lightroom, which is pretty good.
Micro 4/3 is a great system when used as intended by the manufacturer. Yes, we can use nearly any dSLR lens, microscope, telescope, bellows with enlarging lens, and other optical device, plus over 100 native lenses on our cameras. However, in many cases, the frustration will be quite annoying or limiting or both.
There are some exceptions, of course, but using Nikon glass usually isn't one.

The closest Nikon got to M4/3 was what they called the "one inch" CX format Nikon 1 series. The Nikon 1 J5 was the last of the line, I believe. They have been discontinued, but should be good if you find one in good condition. You will probably have to shop abroad, and get a grey market item.

OK, thanks everyone, I was thinking of the sensor in the J3. They made a Nikon 1 V3 but it had no EVF so I no longer have an interest in this line of cameras.
Once again, thanks to everyone who helped out.

Leica has a 4/3 model--the D-Lux 7. Fantastic piece.
Its merely a rebranded Panasonic LX100 II.

The Nikon 1 V2 has a built-in EVF. Nice camera.
