The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method capable of suppressing a deterioration in image quality. The image processing apparatus includes a threshold value setting unit which sets a threshold value for identifying a feature of neighboring pixels of a current block in an intra prediction process in encoding of image data according to a bit depth of the image data and a filtering processing unit which performs a filtering process on the neighboring pixels by using a filter according to the feature of the neighboring pixels identified by using the threshold value set by the threshold value setting unit. The present disclosure may be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus.
