The Apple iPod+HP was a line of Hewlett-Packard–branded iPods, distributed through HP.

On January 8, 2004, then-CEO of HP Carly Fiorina announced the Apple iPod+HP deal at the Consumer Electronics Show. As part of the deal, Apple was to have its iPod manufactured for HP and iTunes would be pre-installed on all HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario computers.{{Cite web |date=2004-01-08 |title=HP Will Resell Apple's IPod |url=https://www.techhive.com/article/114205/article.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323200221/https://www.techhive.com/article/114205/article.html |archive-date=2021-03-23 |access-date=2021-03-12 |website=TechHive |language=en}} The first device in the iPod+HP line was the fourth-generation iPod, available in 20 and 40 GB of storage.{{Citation|title=This iPod Isn't an Apple Product - The History of the HP iPod (A Retrospective)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKrbpuy2Okw |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/wKrbpuy2Okw |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-03-12}}{{cbignore}} The Apple iPod+HP was originally intended to be available in "HP Blue" to complement the color of its home computers.{{Cite web|title=HP's Blue iPod Revealed|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2004/01/09/hps-blue-ipod-revealed/|access-date=2021-03-12|website=MacRumors|date=9 January 2004 |language=en}}

HP later added the iPod mini, the iPod photo, and the iPod shuffle to the lineup.{{Cite web|title=English|url=https://press.hp.com/us/en.html|access-date=2021-03-12|website=press.hp.com|language=en-US}} As these were officially HP products rather than Apple products, Apple Store Genius Bars were not authorized to repair Apple iPod+HP iPods, and they had to be sent to an HP Authorized Service Center for repair, despite identical designs.
