Nicholas Young (born c. 1757) was a British cabin boy aboard the Endeavour during Captain James Cook's first voyage of discovery. In 1769, Cook named the headland Young Nick's Head in Poverty Bay, New Zealand after him. In The Remarkable Story of Andrew Swan, it is stated that Young hailed from Greenock, on the Clyde.
