An evaporated fuel processing apparatus includes a canister to collect vapor generated in a fuel tank, a purge passage to purge vapor into an intake passage from the canister, a purge pump provided in the purge passage, a first trifurcated valve in the purge passage between an exhaust port of the purge pump and an outflow port of the purge passage, a second trifurcated valve provided in the purge passage between an inflow port of the purge passage and an intake port of the purge pump, a first bypass passage between the purge passage upstream of the second trifurcated valve and the first trifurcated valve, and a second bypass passage between the purge passage downstream of the first trifurcated valve and the second trifurcated valve. Passages for the vapor and others are switched by switching the first trifurcated valve and the second trifurcated valve during operation of the purge pump.
