A door closing apparatus includes a latch mechanism operated for opening or closing a door of a vehicle, a driving mechanism transmitting a driving force to the latch mechanism to operate the latch mechanism, a first lever rotatably disposed about a first rotational axis and rotating in one direction in response to transmission of an operation force of a door handle to the first lever so that the latch mechanism is controlled at the unlatched state, a second lever having an engaging portion which engages with the first lever and rotatably disposed about a second rotational axis being different from the first rotational axis. The second lever rotates in the one direction about the second rotational axis in response to a rotation in the one direction of the first lever to interrupt transmission of the driving force from the driving mechanism to the latch mechanism.
