Nick (Nicholas) Wagner, 1911 - 1999, was a light heavyweight Seattle boxer from approximately 1929 - 1935. He was born in Seattle to Austrian-Hungarian immigrants Nicholaus and Anna Wagner. His father died when he was very young from an infection due to a work injury.

Wagner ended his boxing career in 1935 when he married his wife Nellie, who didn't want him to box any more. He then became a truck driver for the rest of his working career. He lived in Seattle all his life until the last five years, when he and Nellie moved to California to be near their daughter. He had two children and six grandchildren.
