Nikolas Besagno (born November 15, 1988 in Maple Valley, Washington) is an American soccer defensive midfielder, who currently plays for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.

One of the most touted young players in the country, Besagno became the first overall pick of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft when he was drafted by his former United States Under-17 coach and current Salt Lake boss John Ellinger. At the age of 16, Besagno, who signed a Generation adidas contract with MLS, became the second youngest player in league history to be drafted, behind 2004's number one overall choice, 14-year-old Freddy Adu.

Besagno, a graduate of the Bradenton Academy, has been a regular for the Under-17 United States national team, and has already moved up to the Under-20 squad.
