Nicanor (Latin; Greek: Νικάνωρ Nikanōr) or Nikanor was a Syrian Greek who lived in the 3rd century BCE.
Together with a Gaul named Apaturius, he assassinated Seleucus III Ceraunus during his expedition into Asia against Attalus I in 222 BCE. He was immediately seized and executed by order of the general Achaeus.
