Oligodon nikhili, known commonly as Nikhil's kukri snake, is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.

The species is endemic to the Palni Hills of southern India.

[1][2][3] Both the specific name, nikhili, and the common name, Nikhil's kukri snake, are in honor of Nikhil Whitaker (born 1979), the son of herpetologist Romulus Whitaker.
