Nicholas Baptiste (born August 4, 1995) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who is currently an unrestricted free agent. He most recently played for the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Baptiste was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round (69th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Baptiste played major junior hockey for the Sudbury Wolves and the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League. He was selected sixth overall by the Wolves in the 2011 OHL draft, and played four seasons with them before being traded to the Otters in November 2014. Baptiste was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Sabres on May 31, 2014.

Baptiste made his NHL debut with the Sabres in the 2016–17 season in a game against the Calgary Flames on October 18, 2016. He recorded his first career NHL goal on October 20, 2016, in a 2–1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Although Baptiste was awarded the goal, he was not the one to shoot it into the net. There was a misplay between two Canucks players leading the puck to go into the net and since Baptiste was the last Sabres player to touch it, he was awarded his first NHL goal. He re-signed with the Sabres on July 18, 2018.
