Afrikaanse Pers Boekhandel

Afrikaanse Pers Boekhandel ("Afrikaans Press Booksellers") was an Afrikaans language publishing house.

Founded in 1962, the full name of the company was the Afrikaanse Pers (1962) Beperk and had various alternative spellings for its name over the years, including: Afrikaanse Pers-boekhandel, Afrikaanse Pers-Boekhandel, Afrikaanse Pers Boekhandel and Afrikaanse persboekhandel. Abbreviated versions include Afr. Pers and Afr. Pers Boekhandel, but the company was often referred to by its acronym A.P.B. (or APB).

The company published numerous newspapers, journals, and literary and academic works over the period of its existence, including a large number of Afrikaans dramas.

APB merged with the Voortrekkerpers on 1 April 1971 to form Perskor (Die Perskorporasie van Suid-Afrika) a South African press group.
