The Nicolaikirche is the Evangelical Lutheran parish church in the city of Aabenraa in Northern Schleswig, Denmark. Until the free congregation church was built in 1905, it was also the only church in the city.

The brick building is located at the highest point of the city's oldest settlement center at the end of the Aabenraa Fjord. Construction began around 1250 at the latest. The elongated building is unusually low for a city church and gives the impression of a single-nave hall church. Due to the north and south arms that were still added in the Middle Ages, the building became a cruciform church. The Nikolaikirche never had a tower, as did its sister in Eckernförde, which was equipped with a taller nave. However, it carries a high ridge turret over the crossing that dominates the cityscape. This was reconstructed in the 1960s according to historical templates after a higher brick tower with stepped gables had been built in its place in 1908, although it had already become dilapidated again.

The cemetery was moved about 500 meters west to Forstallee in the 19th century. The old churchyard is now a lawn. There is a special natural and cultural monument each. There is a huge horse chestnut tree in front of the main south entrance to the church. In front of the southern choir wall is a memorial for the victims of the First World War from the community, on which an angelic figure holds his hand protectively over a German and a Danish fallen man.
