Nicholas Allan Mangold (born January 13, 1984) is an American football center who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Ohio State, and was drafted by the New York Jets in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Mangold is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection with the Jets. In 2011, the New York Times ranked him as the best center in the NFL. The Jets were "the only team in the NFL that doesn't have to sacrifice a guard when facing an elite nose tackle," wrote the Times, because of Mangold's "ability to lock and drive from a standstill position."

Mangold attended Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering, Ohio, where he was a letterman in football, wrestling, and track & field. In football, he was a three-year starter on both offense and defense and as a senior, he garnered All-Ohio honors. He also earned three letters in wrestling and two in track and field, competing in the shot put.

Mangold went completely unregarded by recruiting services like Rivals.com and Scout.com. Still, Mangold played in the 2002 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
