Nicetius, or Nicetas, was the Count of Clermont, Duke of Auvergne, and Governor of Provence in the late sixth century.
He received, as constituting his duchy, the cities of Rodez, Clermont, and Uzès.
According to Gregory of Tours, though he was young at the time, he was "a man of acute insight," who "established peace in the Auvergne."
Afterwards, he patrolled the border between Septimania (the Gothic province of Narbonensis) and his own Frankish territory, the so-called "Dukedom of Auvergne."
In 588 Theodore, Bishop of Marseille, complained to the king that there had been a plague in Provence.
