Judas was the disciple who betrayed Jesus' just BEFORE his death...Peter 'disowned' Jesus during his trial, but later apologized and was forgiven(Matthew 26:69-75)...but as far as any one 'disciple' who disowned Jesus AFTER his death, the only mention is of Hymenaeus, Alexander and Philetus (1 Timothy 1:19+20/2Timothy 2:16-19) who became apostate and were put out of the congregation.
There have been many proclaimed 'disciples' of Christ who have 'disowned Jesus' by their works, in the centuries since his death, as was prophesied at Matthew 13:24, 25, 37-39(2 Thessalonians 2:3+4, 6-12).

At Acts 20:29+30, Paul warns us clearly..."I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.

Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."(NIV) This happened after Jesus' death, increasing after the death of the apostles, and continues to happen today (Titus 1:16). Peter also warned that

there would be "...false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought them...

many will follow their licentious ways, and because of these teachers the way of truth will be maligned".(2 Peter 2:1+2 NRSV).

Jesus said that 'by their fruitage you will recognize these men'(Matthew 7:15-20)
