The present invention discloses a data pasting method and apparatus, belonging to the technical field of terminals. The method comprises the steps of when a pasting instruction of pasting data into a current input box is detected, determining a clipboard corresponding to the current input box according to an identifier of the current input box, wherein the clipboard corresponding to the current input box is used for storing historical data that is stored in the current input box through a pasting operation; and acquiring current to-be-pasted first data from the clipboard corresponding to the current input box, and pasting the first data to the current input box. The apparatus comprises a determining module, a first acquisition module and a first pasting module. According to the method, the first data is directly acquired from the clipboard corresponding to the current input box, the first data is pasted to the current input box, and an operation of copying the first data to a general clipboard is not performed repeatedly, so that the efficiency of pasting data by the terminal is improved.
