Agriarctos nikolovi is an extinct species of panda from the Late Miocene of Bulgaria, which lived some 6 million years ago. It is known from fossil teeth in the collections of the Bulgarian National Museum of Natural History, where two teeth preserved by the paleontologist Dr. Ivan Nikolov later served as the holotypes that identify the species. The specific epithet commemorates Nikolov for having preserved those teeth and for his contributions to the study of the fossil mammal fauna of Bulgaria.
