Apollonius of Aphrodisias was a Greek historian of the 3rd century BCE during the Hellenistic period. He originated from the city of Aphrodisias in Asia Minor. Although no details of his personal life survive, scholars place him within the Aristotelian tradition based on the method of his work.

He is known for a single historical work titled the Chronika, or Chronicles. This book is now lost, surviving only in a few fragments preserved by later authors. It was a chronicle that systematically organized timelines and the successions of rulers and events in Greek history.

Modern scholars view Apollonius as representative of a specific type of historian from his era. His work focused on collecting and arranging chronological data, a practice associated with the Aristotelian school of thought. While his direct influence was limited, he exemplifies the chronographic tradition that sought to bring systematic order to historical knowledge. This tradition proved important for later historians and biographers who built upon such organized records of the past.
