Nikoloz Chkheidze (Georgian: ნიკოლოზ (კარლო) ჩხეიძე; Russian: Никола́й (Карло) Семёнович Чхеи́дзе; transliterated Russian: Nikolay Semyonovich Chkheidze), commonly known as Karlo Chkheidze or Nicolas Cheidze (1864 – June 13, 1926), was a Georgian Social Democrat politician. In the 1890s, he promoted Marxism in Georgia. He became a key figure in the Russian Revolution (February 1917 to October 1917) as the Menshevik president of the Executive Committee of the Soviet of Petrograd (until September 1917). Later he held office in the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic of April-May 1918; he served as president of the Transcaucasian Sejm (February 1918 to May 1918). In the Democratic Republic of Georgia he became president of the Constituent Assembly (May 1918 to March 1921).
Chkheidze was born to an aristocratic family in Poti, Shorapansky Uyezd, Kutais Governorate (in the present-day Imereti province of Georgia). He married and had a daughter.
In 1892, Chkheidze, together with Egnate Ninoshvili, Silibistro Jibladze, Noe Zhordania and Kalenike Chkheidze (his brother), became a founder of the first Georgian Social-Democratic group, Mesame Dasi (the third team).
