Nicolò Coccon (August 10, 1826 in Venice – August 4, 1903 in Venice) was an Italian composer, conductor, organist and teacher.
Born in Venice he studied with Fabio Ermagora, a pupil of Bonaventura Furlanetto.
In 1856 he was appointed organist and vice Maestro of the Cappella Marciana at San Marco's Basilica in Venice. Coccon succeeded Antonio Buzzolla when he retired in 1871. He was teacher of counterpoint at the Liceo Musicale Benedetto Marcello (1882-1897).
Coccon left the position of Maestro in 1894 for the conflicts with his vice Giovanni Tebaldini promoter of the Cecilian reform.
