[Alexander Ivanovich Nikitsky (25 January 1842, Cherepovets — 10 November 1886, Warsaw) was a Russian historian.

Since 1870, Nikitsky almost annually published a work on the history of Russia. He specialized in the history of Novgorod and Pskov in the 11th and 15th centuries, and paid great attention to socio-economic issues.

Author of a doctoral dissertation: "An essay on the internal history of the Church in Veliky Novgorod", for which he was awarded the highest academic title in 1879. This dissertation provoked comments by E. E. Zamyslovsky (journal of min. Nar. PR. 1880, January). Nikita answered some critics (on the heresy of the strigolniki in the same journal, 1880, June). In his last great work, published during his lifetime, Nikitsky fervently uproots all kinds of insufficiently documented facts. For example, completely denying the story of the Joachim chronicle about the introduction of Christianity in Novgorod.

Nikitsky simultaneously attacks Lavrovsky and Kostomarov; not recognizing the Sofia Treasury — the state Treasury, he disagrees with Prilezhaev; and the news about the riches taken by Ivan III from Novgorod, calls fables and reproaches Belyaev for trusting such stories.]
