Mykola Orestovych Stsiborskyi (Ukrainian: Микола Орестович Сціборський; March 28, 1897 – August 30, 1941) was a Ukrainian nationalist politician who served on the Provid, or central leadership council of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), and who became its chief theorist.

He sided with Andriy Melnyk when the OUN split into two hostile factions and was assassinated in 1941, likely by followers of Melnyk's rival Stepan Bandera.
