Nikolayevsk-na-Amure, city, Khabarovsk kray (territory), far eastern Russia. The city is situated at the head of the Amur River estuary. It was founded in 1850, but its importance as a Pacific port and naval base was overshadowed by the later development of Vladivostok and Sovetskaya Gavan, both with rail communications to the interior. It has ship repair yards and industries of local significance only, and a fishing fleet is based there. Pop. (2006 est.) 26,591.
