Nicholas I of Ohrid (Greek: Νικόλαος Α΄ Οχρίδας; Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian: Никола I Охридски) was Eastern Orthodox Archbishop of Ohrid, from c. 1340 to c. 1350.

In 1334, the Archbishopric of Ohrid came under Serbian rule, preserving its ecclesiastical autonomy.{{sfn|Ćirković|2004|pp=63}} On Easter Day, 16 April 1346, the Serbian King Stefan Dušan convoked the state assembly in Skopje, attended by the Serbian Archbishop Joanikije II, Archbishop Nikolas I of Ohrid, the Bulgarian Patriarch Simeon and various religious leaders of Mount Athos. On that occasion, Serbian Archbishopric of Peć was raised to the status of a Patriarchate. The Archbishopric of Ohrid was not annexed to the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć and kept its autonomy, recognizing only the honorary seniority of the Serbian Patriarch.{{sfn|Fine|1994|pp=309}}{{sfn|Ćirković|2004|pp=64-65}}
