Nicolas or Nicolás may refer to masculine given names cognate to English Nicholas.

The variant Nicolás (Spanish pronunciation: [nikoˈlas]) is widely used in Spanish-speaking countries. The variant Nicola (Italian pronunciation: [niˈkɔːla]), while mistakenly considered feminine in parts of the English-speaking world, is a popular male name in Italy, although Nicolas is also sometimes used, especially amongst Italian Americans and Latin Americans of Italian descent.
