Nikola Grbović (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Грбовић; fl. 1790–d. December 1806) was a Serbian obor-knez of the Kolubara knežina of the Valjevo nahija in the Sanjak of Smederevo, who later became a Serbian Revolutionary.[1] He was born in Mratišić.[1] He was active in the formation of the district and the Ottoman Serb civil army from 1793–94 to 1796, and took part in the operations against Janissary leader Osman Pazvantoğlu.[1] At the end of November 1797 obor-knezes Aleksa Nenadović, Ilija Birčanin and Nikola Grbović from Valjevo brought their forces to Belgrade and forced the besieging janissary forces to retreat to Smederevo.[2] He participated since the outbreak of the First Serbian Uprising, organizing a detachment of his knežina together with his son Milovan.[1] He was a rebel delegate in the talks with Bekir Pasha in 1804.[1] He participated in the liberation of Valjevo and in the first fights around Belgrade.[1]

Nikola Grbović's sons Stevan, Milovan, Radovan fought in the first uprising, and Luka fought in the Second Serbian Uprising.[3]
