Nikolai Andreyevich Orlov (February 26, 1892 - May 31, 1964) was a Russian pianist who actively performed on the concert stage. He was born in Yelets, learned to play the piano from his mother, and then studied under Safonov at the Gnessin Music School in Moscow, where he was awarded a Gold Medal in 1910. His first public performance took place in Moscow in 1912, where he also premiered Alexander Glazunov's concerto.

In 1913, Orlov became a professor at the Higher Music School of the Moscow Philharmonic and taught at the Moscow Conservatory for over four years. He left Russia with Glazunov, who was giving his first concert abroad.

In 1922, Orlov debuted in Paris, where he later settled. He conducted numerous successful concert tours around the world and moved to Grantown-on-Spey in Scotland in 1948. Works by Prokofiev and Myaskovsky were dedicated to him. He is buried in the 1915 section, grave number 115.
