Niccolò Orlandini (April 10, 1553 – May 17, 1606) was an Italian Jesuit author.

He was finally appointed secretary of the Jesuit general Claudio Acquaviva, who in 1558 detailed him to write the history of the Jesuit Order, his master piece.

His history of the Jesuit Order comprises only the generalate of St. Ignatius.

It was edited by Sacchini, and appeared under the title Historiæ Societatis Jesu prima pars (Rome, 1614, 1615, 1621; Antwerp, 1620; Cologne, 1620).

It was continued by Francesco Sacchini, Petrus Possinus, Joseph de Jouvancy and Giulio Cesare Cordara.
