Nikita (Ukrainian: Нікіта, Russian: Никита, Crimean Tatar: Nikita) is a townlet in Crimea, Ukraine. It is known for the Nikitsky Botanical Garden named after the settlement.

Originally it was a village of Nikita owned by a landowner Smirnov, bought by the state in 1811 for the creation of the botanical garden. During the times of the Soviet Union the settlement was renamed into Botanicheskoye ("Botanical" in Russian). The name was restored after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
