Nikola Janakiev Karev (Bulgarian: ?????? ??????? ????? and Macedonian: ?????? ?????; 1877–1905) was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary in Ottoman-ruled Macedonia.
He was born November 23, 1877 in Kirsova (now Kruševo) and died April 27, 1905 in the village of Rayçani (Rajcani), both today in North Macedonia.
Karev was a local leader of what later became known as the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO).
He was also a teacher at the Bulgarian school system in his native area, and a member of the Bulgarian Workers' Social Democratic Party.
He is considered today a hero in Bulgaria and in North Macedonia.
Despite his Bulgarian national identification, according to the post-WWII Macedonian historiography, he was an ethnic Macedonian.
However some Macedonian historians have recognized that the situation was quite different, and even his name was removed from the anthem of the SR Macedonia, as he was suspected of being Bulgarophile.
