Nicolás Almagro Sánchez (Spanish pronunciation: [nikoˈlas alˈmaɣɾo ˈsantʃeθ]; born 21 August 1985 in Murcia, Spain) is a Spanish professional tennis player, ranked World No. 45 on the ATP World Tour. He reached the quarterfinals of the French Open in 2008, 2010 and 2012 (losing each time to Rafael Nadal, the eventual champion), as well as the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2013 (losing to David Ferrer after leading by two sets to love). Almagro has won 12 singles titles and he achieved his career-high singles ranking of World No. 9 in May 2011.

Almagro reached as high as World No. 18 in the junior singles rankings in December 2003.

Almagro won the gold medal at the 2005 Mediterranean Games by defeating compatriot Guillermo García-López in the final in Almería, Spain.

In April 2006, Almagro won his maiden ATP tournament title, the Open de Tenis Comunidad Valenciana (Valencia, Spain). Almagro was forced to come through the qualification rounds just to make this event, but that did not stop him from winning eight matches in a row, including three-set victories over former world no. 1s Juan Carlos Ferrero and Marat Safin.
