Apollo and Marsyas is a 1659-1660 oil on canvas painting by Luca Giordano, now in the museo nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples. It was a model for de Ribera's 1637 work on the same subject in the same gallery.

Giordano returned to the subject several times, sometimes varying the composition and sometimes using different sized canvases, whereas the Naples version was copied about a year later at a slightly smaller size, now in a private collection.
