Saint Nicholas Timofeyevich Migulin, hieromartyr, was a priest in the Kharkiv diocese and received the martyr's death by shooting on 13 November 1937, during the Soviet persecution. He is venerated as a local saint of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and commemorated on 19 May.

He was born on 4 December 1872 in the village of Malaya Volcha in the Kharkiv governorate. After the revolution of 1917 he was ordained. He served in the village of Budenovka, Olkhovatka district, Kharkiv region. In September 1937 he was arrested and sentenced to death. He was shot on 13 November 1937 in Kharkiv.

On 22 June 1993 the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church decided on his local canonization in the Kharkiv diocese, in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Sloboda land.
