Scipio Nasica av Cornelii, född -230 i Roma, Lazio, Italien, död -171 i Roma, Lazio, Italien. Consul of the Roman Republic in 191 BC.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica (Nasica meaning "pointed nose") was a consul of ancient Rome in 191 BC.

At the request of the Senate, he journeyed with the Roman matrons to receive the statue of Magna Mater in 204 when it arrived from Anatolia at Ostia. According to Livy and Ovid's Fasti we are told that he was chosen for this duty because he was the best of the Roman community.

He was later aedile in 197. As praetor in Hispania Ulterior (194), he defeated the Lusitanians at Ilipa, and as consul subjugated the Boii. He was not chosen as censor despite standing in both the elections of 189 and 184, a failure marking the decline of the influence of the Scipiones in Rome. He went on to help found Aquileia in 181, and appears in an inquiry of 171.
