Hi, I accidentally purchased an Apple Gift Card. I haven’t redeemed or used it. I’d like to cancel the order and request a refund.

We are all Apple users, just as you are, in the community, so no-one here has access to your accounts or details.
We can't guess what kind of Gift Card you purchased ... eg: some cards can only be used for purchases from an Apple Store:
Returns & Refunds - Shopping Help - Apple
Eg: says:
"Note: Apple Store Gift Cards are not eligible for return".
Then there are cards that can only used for App Store, iTunes etc,
From the linked article below:
Gift apps, media, and more from Apple - Apple Support
Seems you would need to have cancelled the order before it was delivered.
Once you have received the gift card:
What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support
Lists what the card can be used for ... there's no mention of cancelling it.
Eg: says:
"To find out more about what gift cards and Apple Account balance can be used for, read the terms and conditions"
