Nicopsis, Nikopsis, or Nikopsia (; ; ) was a medieval fortress and town on the northeastern Black Sea coast, somewhere between the Russian towns of Tuapse and Gelendzhik. It features in the medieval Greek and Georgian sources as a Byzantine outpost and then as the northwestern extreme of the Kingdom of Georgia. A center of Christianity in the region known as Zichia, Nikopsis was at times a Byzantine bishopric and was believed to be a burial place of the apostle Simon the Canaanite.
