Nicolás de Villacis (9 September 1616 – 8 April 1694) was a Spanish Baroque painter from Murcia, a disciple of Diego Velázquez.
He met Velázquez (their relationship is reported by Antonio Palomino) in Madrid during his youth, and later studied in Italy, where he is documented in 1643 and where he established an atelier at Como. He returned to Murcia around 1650, where he executed his most famous works, the mural paintings of the Trinity Convent.
