Nijenhuis operators are very useful in the deformation theory of algebras. In this paper, we introduce a new cohomology theory related to deformation of Nijenhuis algebra morphisms, this notion involves simultaneous deformation of two Nijenhuis algebras and a morphism between them. As a consequence, we define a cohomology theory of Nijenhuis algebra morphisms to interpret the lower degree cohomology groups as formal deformation. We also prove a cohomology comparison Theorem of Nijenhuis algebra morphisms, i.e. the cohomology of a morphism of Nijenhuis algebras is isomorphic to the cohomology of an auxiliary Nijenhuis algebra. Finally, we construct a minimal model for the operad governing Nijenhuis algebras morphisms.
