Imperator Nikolai I (Russian: Император Николай I) was a wooden-hulled, steam-powered, first-rate ship of the line built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the late 1850s. She served as a gunnery training ship and troopship with the Baltic Fleet for a number of years after her completion. The ship was stricken from the Navy List in 1874.
