Founded in 1994, Appian Graphics was a supplier of multi-monitor graphics accelerators.

The company was best known for its Jeronimo and Gemini product lines, and for the HydraVision display management software. The main competitor for Appian on the multi-monitor solutions market was STB Systems.

The company was acquired in July 2001 by ATi Technologies.
