Some common fixed point theorems for Cq-commuting generalized nonexpansive mappings have been proved in metric spaces. As applications, invariant approximation results are also obtained. The results proved in the paper extend and generalize several known results including those of M. Abbas and J.K. Kim [Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 44(2007) 537-545], I. Beg, N. Shahzad and M. Iqbal [Approx. Theory Appl. 8(1992) 97-105], W.G. Dotson [J. London Math. Soc. 4(1972) 408-410 Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 38(1973) 155-156.], M. D. Guay, K. L. Singh and J. H. M. Whitfield [Proc.
