Count Nikita Petrovich Panin (Russian: Граф Ники́та Петро́вич Па́нин; 17 April 1770[1] – 1 March 1837[2]) was an Imperial Russian diplomat, vice-chancellor, and (acting) State Chancellor and Foreign Minister of Russia. He was a nephew of Count Nikita Ivanovich Panin,[3] son of Petr Ivanovich Panin,[4] son-in-law of Count Vladimir Orlov [ru].
Nikita P. Panin plotted the assassination of Paul I of Russia together with Count Peter Ludwig von der Pahlen and the Russo-Neapolitan Admiral José de Ribas.[5] Ribas died before the assassination, which was actually carried out on 23 March [O.S. 11 March] 1801 by a band of dismissed officers headed by General Bennigsen, a Hanoverian in the Russian service, and General Yashvil, a Georgian.[6] The assassination brought Alexander I of Russia to the throne.
He died in 1837 and was buried in the Smolensk Estate in Dugino, Smolensk Oblast.[2]
