An Astropolis (from the Greek for city of stars) can be any of several things in different contexts. These include:
- An idealised future civilisation, as in Eugene Jolas' Succession in Astropolis.
- The Astropolis Music Festival is a music festival dedicated to techno music and held in Brittany.
- Astropolis, the High Technology Development Program (http://www.astropolis.fi) in Sodankylä, Lapland.
- Various kinds of fictional populated places in the space: artificial spatial objects, planet-scale (star-scale) conglomerates, simply cities, etc., mentioned in futurology and science fiction.
- Astropolis, a spatial facility proposed by Dr. Krafft A. Ehricke.
