Nikolaos Alektoridis (1874–1909) was a Greek painter and a member of the Munich School of Greek artists.

He was born in Kayseri in 1874. He studied in Constantinople under the Italians painter Fausto Zonaro.[4] After the end of his studies he settled to Athens, where he worked as an icon painter. In 1903 Alektoridis created along with Vasileios Hatzis an art studio in which painters like George Bouzianis and Periklis Vyzantios attended classes. Alektoridis participated at the Athens International Exhibition (1907, 1908, and 1909), at the 1902 Art Exhibition of Constantinople,[5] at the 1907 International Maritime Exhibition in Bordeaux (where he won a gold medal) and at the exhibition of the Greek Art Society in Cairo (1909).[6]

Alektoridis drowned at Vouliagmeni, on 12 July 1909 after entering the sea without knowing swimming.
