An application made by the far-right party to stage the rally along Union Street on April 20th will go before councillors next Tuesday.
Grampian Police chief inspector Keith Henderson said: "On previous occasions where National Front parades and rallies have occurred, despite the significant planning and the apparent intentions of the organisers, the parades may potentially attract persons whose motives can tend towards public disorder.
It is also possible that such a parade could attract overt displays by far-right sympathisers who could attend from out-with the region."
Mr Henderson added: "Grampian Police are also concerned that unlike the majority of parades, this parade might attract persons who wish to register their protest against the participants or the parade taking place. As such, there is a genuine risk to public safety and potential damage to nearby property should the application for the parade be approved."
The National Front has said the march from Adelphi Lane to Union Terrace Gardens is being planned as a protest against Scottish independence.
A spokesman for the party said the date had been chosen as it is the founding date of Scotland's leading party, set up in 1934, and any relation to Hitler was "pure coincidence".
Aberdeen Trade Union Council has also applied for permission to stage a counter-demonstration on the same day.
