Nikolai Ushin (1898–1942) was Soviet theater artist and book schedule. Brother graphic artist Alexei Ushin. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under P. A. Shillingovsky (1923-1928). In the 1920s - 1930s he created a design for theatrical productions.

Created bookplates and lithographs. Working at the Academia publishing house, he executed the decoration of the eight fairy tale book «Tales of 1001 Nights» and received the Gold Medal of the Paris exhibition of 1937 for this work.
