Nicholas Altrock (September 15, 1876 - January 20, 1965) was an American left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Louisville Colonels, Boston Americans, Chicago White Sox, and Washington Senators.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Altrock was one of the better pitchers in baseball for a brief period from 1904 to 1906 with the White Sox. He was instrumental in the White Sox World Series championship in 1906, going 20-13 with a 2.06 ERA in the regular season and 1-1 with a Series-best 1.00 ERA against the Chicago Cubs. An arm injury after 1906 ruined his career, but he hung on with the White Sox and Senators until 1924, though he pitched very little after 1908 and made sporadic pinch-hitting appearances after that, including one in 1933 at 56 years of age. Altrock became a coach for the Senators in 1912 and remained on the staff until 1953. During that time, he was noted for his antics in the coaching box and teamed with Al Schacht, the "Clown Prince of Baseball," for a dozen years to perform silly antics on baseball fields in the days before official mascots.

Altrock died at age 88 in Washington, D.C.
