Olga Nikolaevna of Russia (Russian: Ольга Николаевна; 11 September 1822 – 30 October 1892) was Queen of Württemberg from 25 June 1864 until 6 October 1891 as the wife of King Charles I of Württemberg. Olga was the second daughter of Nicholas I of Russia and Charlotte of Prussia. She was thus a sister of Alexander II of Russia. She married the future Charles I of Württemberg in 1846. The marriage was childless. She became Queen of Württemberg upon her husband's accession to the throne in 1864. Noted for her dignity and queenly demeanor, Queen Olga was particularly known in the public eye for her social commitment in the form of supporting institutions for the sick and disabled. To this day, numerous social and medical institutions in Stuttgart and the surrounding area bear her name.
