Nikolay Nikolayevich Gritsenko (1856 – 1900) was a Russian painter who specialized in painting ships and seascapes. He joined the Russian Navy early on, and was quickly noticed for his artistic skills. The Russian government even sent him to Paris to learn how to paint.
At the Paris art school, his professor was his compatriot, Alexey Bogolyubov. He died in France.
