Archimandrite Nicifor Ducic (Serbian Cyrillic: ??????? ?????; 1832–1900), was a Herzegovinian Serb theologian, historian, philologist, monk and writer. As Archimandrite of Herzegovina Nicifor Ducic founded the Orthodox Seminarium in Cetinje in 1863.
In 1880 Ducic was appointed as the head of The National Museum of Serbia, and since 1883 as a Director of National Library of Serbia. Ducic's monographs about monasteries (Tvrdoš, Žitomislic, Moraca, Ostrog) have not lost the cultural-historical value since science must further take some studies into consideration: Christmas in Montenegro (1867); Boka and Zeta (1875); Slav Manuscripts in the National Library in Paris (1889).
