Apollophanes of Athens () was a poet of the old Attic comedy. He appears to have been a contemporary of Strattis, and to have consequently lived about Olympiad 95.Harpocration, Lexicon of the Ten Orators, s. v. ἀσελφίρειν
Surviving titles and fragments The editors of the Suda ascribe to him five comedies, viz. Dalis (Δάλις), Iphigeron (Ἰφιγέρων), Cretans (Κρῆτες), Danae (Δανάη) and Centaurs (Κένταυροι). Of the former three we still possess a few fragments, but the last two are completely lost.Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae iii. pp. 75, 114, xi. pp. 467, 485Photios I of Constantinople, Bibliotheca s. v. μνσικάρφηςClaudius Aelianus, Varia Historia 6.51Photios I of Constantinople, Bibliotheca p. 624August Meineke (1970 ), Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum vol.I Historia Critica Comicorum Graecorum p. 266–277.
