Nikolaos Agapitos Rogkavopoulos (alternate spelling: Rogavopoulos; Greek: Νικόλαος Αγαπητός "Νίκος" Ρογκαβόπουλος; born June 27, 2001) is a Greek professional basketball player for Panathinaikos of the Greek Basketball League and the EuroLeague. He is a 2.03 m (6 ft 8 in) tall small forward.

Rogkavopoulos played from a young age with the youth teams of Doukas, before he started his pro career. In 2016, the Spanish club Real Madrid offered Rogkavopoulos an amateur contract, but he decided to stay in Greece, rather than move to Spain. He played at the Jordan Brand Classic's International Game in 2017.

Rogkavopoulos made his professional debut with the Greek 2nd Division club Doukas, in a game against Ethnikos Piraeus, in the Greek Cup in 2016. On July 13, 2017, Rogkavopoulos moved to AEK Athens, after he signed a six-year contract with the club, through the 2022–23 season. He spent the 2017–18 season playing with AEK's junior teams, and on the senior team's practice squad.

For the following season, Rogkavopoulos moved up to AEK's senior team, and he made his debut in Greece's top-tier level Greek Basket League (GBL), during the GBL 2018–19 season. He also made his debut in one of the two European-wide secondary level competitions, FIBA's Basketball Champions League (BCL), in the BCL 2018–19 season. With AEK, he won the 2019 edition of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, and the Greek Cup title, in 2020.

During the 2020–2021 season, Rogkavopoulos had a falling-out with the club due to playing time concerns as well as withheld contract payments, which ended in his suspension from the team for the rest of the season. In the 2021 offseason, all players under contract with AEK were released in order to be renegotiated under new terms, resulting in Rogkavopoulos's free agency.

In April 2020, Rogkavopoulos declared for the 2020 NBA draft.

On July 28, 2021, Rogkavopoulos signed a three-year deal with Promitheas Patras of the Greek Basket League and the EuroCup. In 16 league games, he averaged 6.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists, playing around 20 minutes per contest. He was quietly suspended for disciplinary reasons in the latter stretch of the season.

Rogkavopoulos spent the 2022–2023 season with Turkish club Merkezefendi, averaging 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest, in 28 domestic league matches.

On July 3, 2023, Rogkavopoulos signed a three-year contract with Basque powerhouse Saski Baskonia, making the jump to the Liga
