Nicolás Celis Ríos (born October 24, 1984) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a center forward. He currently plays for Colegio Nacional de Iquitos in the Peruvian First Division.
Nicolás developed as a footballer in C.D. Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana (Deportivo UNAP). There he played in the District League of Iquitos. Then in 2005 he joined Iquito's biggest club Colegio Nacional de Iquitos for the 2005 Copa Perú, which they were eliminated from in the Round of 16 by Olímpico Somos Perú 3-3 on aggregate.
Then in 2006 Celis would have a very short stint playing for Peruvian First Division club FBC Melgar, Arequipa's most popular club. Celis made his official debut in the Peruvian First Division with FBC Melgar on March 12, 2006 in the 2006 season. He came on in the 77th minute for José Carlos Fernández, and his club went on to defeat Unión Huaral 3-1 at home. His manager at the time Teddy Cardama allowed Nicolás to play the following match, away to Sporting Cristal. He entered the match replacing José Carlos Fernández in the 80th minute, but his club still lost 3-0. This would be his last appearance for FBC Melgar.
