Apprieu (French pronunciation: [apʁijø]) is a commune in the Isère department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France.

Access to the commune is by road D520 from Colombe in the west passing through the town and continuing east to La Murette.

Apart from the town there are also the hamlets of Plan Bois in the north-east and Le Rivier in the south.

[8] The Gourju family settled in Apprieu in 1842 to restart the old forges of Bonpertuis known since 1569 and probably much earlier in the Carthusian period.

Alphonse Gourju (ironmaster from Rives), Renage, and Brignoud from the valley of Gresivaudan installed a remarkable puddling furnace at Bonpertuis which is well preserved today.
