Apelles dari Kos (; ; hidup pada abad ke-4 SM) adalah seorang pelukis Yunani kuno terkenal. Pliny the Elder memberikan banyak pengetahuan soal seniman tersebut kepada para cendekiawan modern. Ia menanggalkan Apelles dengan Olympiad ke-112 (332–329 SM), diyakini karena ia membuat sebuah potret Aleksander Agung. "But it was Apelles of Cos, in the hundred and twelfth Olympiad, who surpassed all the other painters who either preceded or succeeded him. Single-handed, he contributed more to painting than all the others together, and even went so far as to publish some treatises on the principles of the art."
