Apricena (Foggiano: La Prucìne) is an Apulian town in the province of Foggia.

It is 42 kilometres (26 mi) from its provincial capital, Foggia, Italy and a few kilometres inland from the Adriatic Sea.

This territory is mainly plain, cultivated with olives, cereals and wine.

The economy is focused on quarrying the local rock, the Stone of Apricena, and exporting it to Germany, Japan, and China.

Apricena developed from the summer residence of the Emperor Frederick II.
