Eugenius Aristides Nisbet (December 7, 1803 – March 18, 1871) was an American politician, jurist, and lawyer.

He attended the Powellton Academy in Hancock County, Georgia from 1815 to 1817, the University of South Carolina in Columbia from 1817 to 1819, and graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens with a Bachelor of Arts in 1821.

Nisbet unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1836; however, he was elected to that body in 1838 and again in 1840.

Nisbet resigned from the U.S. House in 1841, due to "the condition of his private affairs and a growing distaste for political life.

Nisbet served as a trustee of UGA from 1864 until his death in 1871 in Macon, Georgia.
