Hari Narayan Apte (8 March 1864 – 3 March 1919) was an Indian Marathi language writer.
Through his writings, he provided an eminent example to future Marathi fiction writers in respect of writing effective novels and short stories which faithfully reflect different aspects of contemporary society. Before him, novelists wrote novels like Gulabakawali with fantastic themes unrelated to realistic social situations.
Apte presided over Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in Akola in 1912.
