A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a sheet conveyance unit, a double feeding detection unit, a first sheet detection unit, and a control unit. The double feeding detection unit detects double feeding with respect to a sheet. The control unit controls a conveyance speed of a sheet conveyed by the sheet conveyance unit at a first speed and a second speed which is slower than the first speed and at which the sheet is in motion. The control unit controls the sheet conveyance unit to decelerate the conveyance speed of a sheet conveyed by the sheet conveyance unit from the first speed to the second speed based on a detection result of the first sheet detection unit. The control unit controls the double feeding detection unit to execute a double feeding detecting operation with respect to the sheet that is conveyed at the second speed by the sheet conveyance unit.
