Nicolò Navigajoso was a Venetian diplomat and colonial official in the 1260s and 1270s.

In 1265 he was sent as ambassador to the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, along with Pietro Badoerio.[1][2] In 1268–69 he was castellan of Coron in the Morea, together with Nicolò Miglani, who was likely the junior of the two.[1] He was sent as one of a three-member embassy to Pope Gregory X in 1272,[1][3] and, again along with Miglani, as ambassador to Serbia (Rascia) in 1275, after the Serbian king Stefan Uroš I had attacked Ragusa.[4][5]
