Apollinaris of Valence was a 5th-century bishop who served the see of Valence during the Burgundian Kingdom era. Born in Vienne to a noble family, he was the son of Bishop Hesychius and the brother of Bishop Avitus. After being ordained a priest in his early twenties, he was appointed to lead the long-vacant see of Valence in 486. He is remembered for restoring moral order to his diocese and for his influential role in religious and political disputes during his thirty-four-year episcopate.
