Baksh Nasikh (Urdu: اِمام بخش ناسِخ) (1776–1838) was an Urdu poet of the Mughal era.

Imam Baksh Nasikh succeeded in gaining the patronage of Meer Kazim Ali whose property he inherited.[1] Nasikh who offended the nawab of Awadh by contemptuously refusing his patronage was driven out from Lucknow.[2] Nasikh finally returned from exile after the death of Hakim Mehdi in 1837. He died in the year 1838.[3]

The reputation of ghazal was restored to Delhi under the patronage of Bahadur Shah Zafar.[4]
