Apliki (Greek: Απλίκι) is a small village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located 4 km northeast of Palaichori.

Apliki was a copper mining region dating from the late 14th Century BC. Excavations show it to have been a smelter site, built on rocky terraces. Four houses were excavated, with rich findings, including an ivory cylinder, a cylinder seal of steatite and a gold earring.
