There are provided a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method realizing an effective reduction of a voltage change of a substrate on an electrode to reduce the variation of incident energy of ions entering the substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes: a first electrode holding a substrate on a main surface of the first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; a RF power source applying to the first electrode a RF voltage whose frequency is equal to or higher than 40 MHz; and a pulse voltage applying unit applying to the first electrode a pulse voltage decreasing in accordance with a lapse of time, by superimposing the pulse voltage on the RF voltage.
