Nikulitsa (Bulgarian: Никулица) was a Bulgarian noble from Larissa, governor of Servia during the reign of Samuil. He received his name ("little Nicholas") because of his short height. In 1001 the Byzantines led by Basil II besieged the city and after a long siege they managed to break through despite the garrison's desperate defence. To secure the fortress, the entire Bulgarian population deported in the area called Boleron between the rivers Nestos and Hebros (Maritsa).
