Nikolay Petrovich Osipov (Russian: Николай Петрович Осипов) (1751 in Saint Petersburg – 19 May [O.S. 30 May] 1799 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire) was a Russian writer, poet and translator. He is best known for his mock-heroic 1791 poem Eneida travestied (Russian: Вирги́лиева Энеи́да, вы́вороченная наизна́нку).

Osipov's Eneida is a parody of Virgil's Aeneid, where the Trojan heroes talk like 18th-century Russians.
