Apollodorus (Greek: Ἀπολλόδωρος) of Tarsus was a tragic poet of ancient Greece who is mentioned by Eudocia and in the Suda as having written six tragedies; though nothing further is known about him.

There is another Apollodorus of Tarsus, who was probably a grammarian, and wrote commentaries on the early dramatic writers of Greece.[1][2]
