Apus es un género de aves apodiformes de la familia Apodidae conocidos vulgarmente como vencejos. Los vencejos pasan la mayor parte de su vida en el aire. Tienen las patas muy cortas y las usan para agarrarse a las distintas superficies. Los vencejos se encuentran entre las aves más rápidas del mundo. Aunque se parecen, no deben confundirse con las golondrinas, miembros de otro orden (Passeriformes) y con las que no guardan ninguna relación.
