Nicholas (Hungarian: Miklós; died around 1055) was an 11th-century Hungarian prelate, who served as the first known bishop of Győr under King Andrew I of Hungary. It is possible that the establishing charter of the abbey of Tihany, a document which contains the oldest written words in Hungarian, was composed by Bishop Nicholas. There is also a scholarly theory that Nicholas compiled the Urgesta, the earliest Hungarian chronicle.
