Nicholas Kabasilas or Cabasilas (Greek: Νικόλαος Καβάσιλας; born 1319/1323 in Thessalonica;[1] died 1392)[2] was a Byzantine mystic and theological writer.

Kabasilas is revered as a saint within the Eastern Orthodox Church. His feast day is June 20.[3][4] The Catholic Church uses extracts from his Life in Christ as readings in the Liturgy of the Hours (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the Fifth Week of Easter in Year II of the provisional two-year cycle for the Office of Readings).[5]
