Auguste Nicolas (6 January 1807 – 18 January 1888) was a French Roman Catholic apologetical writer. Nicolas employed his leisure and later his retirement to write works in defense of Christianity taken as a whole or in its most important dogmas. He lived in a period when Traditionalism still dominated many French Catholics, and this is reflected in his works. Otherwise the author addressed himself to the general public and especially to the middle classes which were still penetrated with Voltairian disbelief, and he succeeded in reaching them.

He aimed no doubt at defending religion by means of philosophy, good sense, and arguments from authority; but he also often appeals to the traditions and the groping moral sense of man-kind at large. He showed his conception of apologetics by adapting to the dispositions and the needs of the minds of his time. The testimonies, however, which he cites, are often apocryphal; and frequently also he interprets them uncritically, and ascribes to them a meaning or a scope which they do not possess.

His apologetics became obsolescent, when ecclesiastical and critical studies were revived in France and elsewhere. His writings also betray at times the layman lacking in the learning and precision of the theologian, and some of his books were in danger of being placed on the Index. Some bishops, however, among them Cardinal Donnet and Cardinal Pie, intervened in his behalf and certified to his intentions.
