Lieutenant Nol Kastiigan is a fictional character in the non-canon Star Trek novels series Stargazer.

Nol Kastiigan is the current chief science officer of the USS Stargazer. He is a Kandilkari and was assigned to the Stargazer to replace the previous chief science officer, Juanita Valderrama, who had been dismissed because of unethical behaviour.

Nol Kastiigan's most notable characteristic is his constant desire to put his life at risk. He can think of no greater glory than to sacrifice his life for his ship and fellow crewmembers, and is constantly asking Captain Jean-Luc Picard to go on a dangerous, or even suicidal, mission.
