A document reading apparatus includes: a feeding device for feeding documents along a document feed path; a reading device having a reading section for reading the documents being fed by the feeding device; a guide member opposed to the reading section of the reading device and adapted to guide the documents being fed by the feeding device; a biasing device for biasing the guide member toward the reading section of the reading device; and spacers for determining the distance between the guide member and the reading section of the reading device. The guide member, which is formed as a flexible body, is held at a position spaced away by a fixed distance from the reading section of the reading device by the biasing device.
