Anatole Nikolaievich Demidov, 1º Príncipe de San Donato (em russo: Анатолий Николаевич Демидов; São Petersburgo, 17 de abril; 5 de abril no calendário juliano de 1812 — Paris, 29 de abril de 1870) foi um nobre, diplomata e mecenas russo.
Count Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov, 1st Prince of San Donato (Russian: Анатолий Николаевич Демидов; 5 April OS: 24 March 1813 – 29 April 1870) was a Russian industrialist, diplomat and arts patron of the Demidov family.
After Anatole's death in Paris in 1870, the art collection and title of Prince of San Donato was inherited by his nephew, Paul Demidoff [1839-1885], the son of his older brother, Paul Nikolayevich Demidov [1798-1840].
Nikolay’s younger son, Anatoly Nikolayevich Demidov (1812–70), also a traveler and patron of the arts, lived for many years in Italy, purchased the Tuscan title prince of San Donato, and married (1840) Princess Mathilde, Jérôme Bonaparte’s daughter and Napoleon I’s niece.
Demidov formed an eclectic art collection, building up on his father's own collection at the Villa San Donato in Florence, and enhanced by various members of the fabulously wealthy and influential Demidov family, active in many parts of Europe; the collections were subsequently dispersed, a major portion being sold in Paris in 1870.
On her death in 1818, Nicholas erected a magnificent mausoleum that stands to this day in Pere Lachaise. Anatole later ordered the construction of the marble structure atop the mausoleum. Having lost both parents when only sixteen, Anatole assumed great responsibility and even greater riches.
Their son, Pavel Pavlovich Demidov, who became the 2nd Prince of San Donato, was the grandfather of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia. Nikolay's second son, Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov, 1st Prince of San Donato, was a well-known traveller and patron of art.
