Armistead Stokalas Nickens (1836 – April 26, 1906) was an American Republican politician who served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing Lancaster County from 1871 to 1875.

His father taught him to read and write, and he bought books and studied on his own.

However, his father died in 1850, so young Armistead and his brother John probably began working at an early age.

Lancaster County voters twice elected him as their representative in the Virginia House of Delegates.

[7] Armistead Nickens died in 1907 and was buried in the family cemetery overlooking the Kamps and Carters Millpond.
