Apollonides (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνίδης) of Nicaea lived in the time of the Roman emperor Tiberius, to whom he dedicated a commentary on the Silloi of Timon of Phlius.

He wrote several works, all of which are lost:

  • A commentary on the orations of Demosthenes (περὶ παραπρεσβείας).
  • On fictitious stories (περὶ κατεψενσμένων), of which the third and eighth books are mentioned.
  • A work on proverbs.
  • A work on Ion, the tragic poet.
  • An Apollonides, without any statement as to what was his native country, is mentioned by Strabo, Pliny the Elder, and by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, as the author of a work called Circumnavigation of Europe (περίπλος τῆς Εὐρώπης). Stobaeus quotes some senarii from one Apollonides.
