The Apian-Gymnasium Ingolstadt is a Gymnasium (high school) in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. It was named after Peter Apian (1495-1552) and his son Philipp Apian. Peter Apian was a mathematician at the university of Ingolstadt, Bavaria's oldest university (which was later moved to Munich). His son Philipp (1531-1589) was his successor as the professor of mathematics at Ingolstadt university but also the first cartographer to produce a complete map of Bavaria.

The Apian-Gymnasium is one of Bavaria's centres of excellence. It offers a wide variety of subjects, an inventors' club, a number of exchange programs with France, Scotland and the USA, but also playful facilities like a terrarium with snakes and spiders and a large toy-train room with to-scale electric toy trains and stations.
