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

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

According to modern scholars, Apollonius represents 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 is a clear example of the chronographic tradition that sought to bring systematic order to historical knowledge. This tradition was important for later historians and biographers who built upon these organized records of the past.
