Nicholas Maddox (November 9, 1886 in Govanstown, Maryland - November 27, 1954 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) was a professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball from 1907-10 for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Maddox is one of the few pitchers to throw a no-hitter in his rookie season; he defeated the Brooklyn Superbas 2-1 at Pittsburgh's Exposition Park on September 20, 1907, one week after pitching a shutout in his major league debut. Not until Cliff Chambers in 1951 would another Pirate pitch a no-hitter, and the next no-hitter in Pittsburgh wouldn't come until 1971; Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals no-hit the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The Pirates' home stadium in between, Forbes Field, had not witnessed a no-hitter in its 61-year (mid-1909 to mid-1970) history.

William F. Kirk of the New York American in 1908 called Maddox a "...a well formed youth with a face like a dried apple."^{[citation needed]}
