St Nicholas's Almshouses (gbmapping|ST587727) is a historic building on King Street, Bristol, England.

The almshouse was one of the first buildings in King Street, a new development then outside the city wall and beside the "Back Street Gate". [cite web | title=St. Nicholas Almshouse | work=UK attraction | url=http://www.ukattraction.com/west-country/st-nicholas-almshouse.htm | accessdate=2007-03-21]

The building was damaged during the Bristol Blitz and now presents only a facade to the street. It no longer serves the homeless as it did in previous centuries.
