A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid onto a target; a carriage that is moved to scan in a direction perpendicular to a transportation direction of the target with the liquid ejecting head being mounted on the carriage; a fan that blows gas toward a scanning area of the carriage; and a partition member that is positioned so as to separate the scanning area of the carriage from the fan and block the gas blown from the fan toward the scanning area of the carriage.
