Nikola Maksimović (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Максимовић; born 25 November 1991) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Italian club Napoli on loan from Torino and the Serbian national team.
Maksimović began his career in 2002 with Kosmos Bajina Bašta, for which he represented in the various youth competitions in Serbia, before he moved to FK Sloga Bajina Bašta in 2004. On 16 July 2006 he moved to the youth ranks of Sloboda Užice, where, precisely two years later, he made his debut for the first team in a game against FBK Kaunas. On 19 September 2010 Maksimović received the first yellow card of his career during a match against Spartak Subotica; and scored the first goal of his professional career on 5 March 2011 in Lučani.
During the 2012 winter transfer window Maksimović was signed by Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, for a reported fee of €300,000. He made his debut on 3 March 2012 in a match against Spartak Zlatibor.
At the end of the season 51% of his contract was acquired by Cypriots Apollon Limassol.
On 23 July 2013 he was loaned to Italian Serie A club Torino with a buyout clause; he made his official debut on 6 October as a substitute against Sampdoria in Genoa, finishing 2–2. Over the course of the season he earned a spot in the starting lineup, first, as a central defender, then as a right-sided midfielder.
