Apollinaris is a brand of effervescent table water, very well-known in German-speaking countries.

Apollinaris has been sourced from a spring in Bad Neuenahr, Germany since 1852. Today the source and the brand of Apollinaris belong to the multinational Cadbury-Schweppes.

Since the mid-1930s and until 1945, the Apollinaris company was controlled by the Amt III ('third office'), a division of the SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt' Amtsgruppe W in charge of the food industry in Nazi Germany. Along with other mineral waters—Sudettenquell and Mattoni—Apollinaris was bottled at the Rheinglassfabrik bottling plant, also controlled by the SS.
