Ptolemy Apion or simply known as Apion (Ancient Greek: Πτολεμαῖος Ἀπίων; between 150 BC and 145 BC – 96 BC) was the last Greek King of Cyrenaica who separated it from the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and in his last will bequeathed his country to Rome.

Apion was the son of Ptolemy VIII Physcon, king of Egypt (170-165, 145-132, and 127-116) and king of Cyrene and Cyprus (163-116 BC), by a concubine.

Apion's mother is often identified with Eirene, who was his mistress around 147 BC,[2] but there is no evidence for this.

[3] Ptolemy Apion was apparently given Cyrene as a separate kingdom ca.

In Ptolemy's will, he left Cyrenaica and his ancestral royal estates to the rule of the Roman Republic.
