The object of the present paper is to study almost pseudo Ricci symmetric manifolds. Some geometric properties have been studied. Among others we obtain a sufficient condition for an almost pseudo Ricci symmetric manifold to be a quasi Einstein manifold. Next we consider conformally flat almost pseudo Ricci symmetric manifolds. Some global properties have been studied. Finally we give an example to verify the sufficient condition for an almost pseudo Ricci symmetric manifold to be a quasi Einstein manifold.
