"St. Apollonia" is a notable oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Measuring 113 by 66 centimeters, the work is a testament to Zurbarán's mastery in capturing the essence of religious figures with a stark, realistic approach that was characteristic of the Spanish Baroque period. The painting depicts St. Apollonia, a Christian martyr from Alexandria, who is often recognized as the patron saint of dentistry.

In this solemn portrayal, St. Apollonia is typically shown holding a pair of tongs with a tooth, referencing her martyrdom during which her teeth were violently extracted. Zurbarán's use of chiaroscuro—strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the spiritual intensity of the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the saint's serene yet pained expression. The muted palette and the attention to the textures of her garments and the instruments of her torture further exemplify Zurbarán's skill in rendering both the physical and the spiritual with equal conviction.

The painting is a fine example of Zurbarán's religious works, through which he sought to inspire piety and devotion in the viewer. It reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on direct, emotional religious experience, and serves as a visual meditation on faith and resilience in the face of suffering. "St. Apollonia" remains an important piece within Zurbarán's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of 17th-century Spanish art.
