Mtindo wa kiapokalipti

Mtindo wa kiapokalipti ulikuwa mtindo wa uandishi ulioanza kati ya Wayahudi wa Uhamisho wa Babeli, hasa nabii Ezekieli, na kuendelea hata kwa Wakristo wa kwanza. Katika Biblia ya Kikristo kitabu maarufu zaidi cha namna hiyo ni Ufunuo wa Yohane.
Jina la mtindo huo linatokana na lile la Kigiriki la kitabu hicho, ἀποκάλυψις, linalotamkwa: apokálupsis. Kwa jumla, mtindo huo unasimulia njozi kuhusu mwisho wa nyakati unaotarajiwa kuleta ukombozi kwa waamini walio katika dhiki. 

Vitabu vingi vya namna hiyo havikukubaliwa kama Neno la Mungu vikabaki nje ya Biblia.
