Apricaphanius is a genus of killifishes in the family Aphaniidae, which are native to northern Africa and southern Europe.

All species in the genus have very small distributions and are seriously threatened.

The generic name is derived from apricus, "shining", referring to many small white spots on flanks of males, and Aphanius, the genus from which they were split in 2020.
