A soft capsule film composition, comprising: (A) a native gellan gum; (B) one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides; (C) a starch or modified starch; (D) a plasticizer; and (E) water, wherein a gelling agent other than the native gellan gum and the one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides is not an essential component. The soft capsule film composition shortens drying time at room temperature, suppresses the stickiness of the surface of a film sheet, imparts film sheet strength which can withstand continuous production in factory manufacturing with a rotary die filling machine or the like, and enables the manufacture of a good soft capsule with high adhesiveness. For this reason, the soft capsule produced using the soft capsule film composition can be utilized for various uses such as drugs, quasi drugs, cosmetics, and foods.
