Nicanor, was a distinguished officer in the service of Alexander the Great.

He is first mentioned at the passage of the Danube river, in the expedition of Alexander against the Getae, 335, when he led the phalanx.

During the expedition into Asia he appears to have held the chief command of the Hypaspists.

It is mentioned of him holding this post in the three great battles of the Granicus, Issus and of Gaugamela.

He was to accompany Alexander during the rapid march in pursuit of the king Darius III Codmannus in 330. This was probably his last service, as he was to die of disease shortly afterwards, during the advance into Bactria.

His death at this time was considered a fortunate event, as it prevented him from participating either in the designs or the fate of his brother Philotas
