Apennins () was a department of the First French Empire of 1805-1814 in present-day Italy. Named after the Apennine Mountains, it originated on 6 June 1805, after France had directly annexed the Ligurian Republic (formerly the Republic of Genoa) on 4 June 1805. Its capital was Chiavari.
Disbanded after the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the Congress of Vienna awarded the old territory of Genoa to the Kingdom of Sardinia (December 1814). The area of the former département forms parts of the Italian provinces of Genoa, La Spezia, Massa-Carrara and Parma.
