Anatole Ignatievich Apraxin (Velik: Анатоль Игнатьевич Апраксин, tr. Anatol' Ignat'yevich Apraksin; b. 29 July 1949) is a Seredinian politician and the sixteenth, incumbent, President of Seredinia. Apraxin is the nephew of late President Gavril Apraxin. He has also served as Premier of Seredinia and Minister for Foreign and Belisarian Affairs. Apraxin defeated incumbent Osip Korneyev to win the presidency in 2010, and defeated Korneyev again in 2015 to retain it for a second, final term.

Apraxin is a member of the moderate wing of the Constitutional Democrats, also known as the Kadets. While his ministries as Premier and early Presidential administration were decidedly conservative, rejecting calls for new LGBT-related anti-discrimination laws and systematically lowering the tax rate for rich citizens, his government has become decidedly centrist after the 2015 General Elections which saw the Kadets lose the State Duma and thus the Premiership. He has since worked alongside incumbent Premier Nadezhda Vyrubova in increasing funding to the Seredinian universal healthcare system and setting a moratorium on capital punishment nationwide.

While Apraxin won the 2010 election to the Presidency with a strong Duma majority, and his 2015 re-election campaign, he has been forced to work with a Social Democratic-Liberal Republican coalition in the Duma since 2015. From 2010-2015, he worked alongside fellow Kadet Mikhail Luzhkov as Premier.
