A fluid ejecting apparatus includes a supporting member that supports a fluid ejection target medium; a fluid ejecting head that is provided opposite to the supporting member so as to eject fluid toward the supporting member; and a medium ejecting unit that ejects the medium in a first direction while holding the medium in such a manner that the medium is supported by the supporting member. The medium ejecting unit includes a driving roller that is provided at the supporting-member side and is in contact with the medium from the supporting-member side when the medium ejecting unit holds the medium, and a driven roller that is provided at the fluid-ejecting-head side and is in contact with the medium from the fluid-ejecting-head side when the medium ejecting unit holds the medium.
