Nikolay Ivanovich Gretsch (Russian: Николай Иванович Греч; 1787–1867) was a grammarian of the 19th century. Although he was primarily interested in philology, it is as a journalist that he is primarily remembered. He was from the Russian Empire.
Nikolay Gretsch, 1856
Gretsch came from a noble Baltic German family. Peter Clodt von Jürgensburg was his wife's nephew. He attended the Imperial School of Jurisprudence and travelled widely in Europe, producing no less than five volumes of travel writings as well as several novels. He introduced the Lancasterian system of education into Russia (1820), organized several innovative schools for soldiers and penned a number of textbooks for them.[1] His memoirs were published in 1886.

Gretch and Bulgarin were the editors of Northern Bee, a popular political and literary newspaper that championed the Official Nationality theory. According to Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, the newspaper "strikes a modern reader as deficient in interpretation, weak intellectually, and devoted almost entirely to factual, quasi-official summaries of events".[3]
