A fiber placement apparatus for arraying prepreg tapes in a width direction, and laminating the arrayed prepreg tapes includes first rollers and a second roller. Each of the prepreg tapes is a material of a fiber reinforced plastic. The first rollers feed out the prepreg tapes one by one. The first rollers rotate around first rotation axes. The second roller arrays the prepreg tapes, fed out from the first rollers, in the width direction, and feeds out the arrayed prepreg tapes slidably. The second roller rotates around a second rotation axis lying on a skew position with respect to each of the first rotation axes. At least one first roller of the first rollers is provided with a first position adjustment mechanism that adjusts a position of the at least one first roller in a first rotation axis direction of the at least one first roller.
