The present-invention has as its object to provide a sheet conveying apparatus which can improve the correction accuracy of a sheet and can prevent the skew feeding of the sheet, and for this purpose, it provides a sheet conveying apparatus for conveying a sheet by sheet conveying means disposed along a sheet conveying path, including: skew detecting means for detecting the skew of the sheet being conveyed with respect to a sheet conveying direction; skew correcting means rotatable in a direction to correct the skew of the sheet in a state nipping the sheet in its skew state, on the basis of a detection signal from the skew detecting means; position correcting means for moving the skew correcting means in a direction intersecting with a sheet conveying direction; and control means for controlling so as to move the skew correcting means in the direction intersecting with the sheet conveying direction by the position correcting means while conveying the sheet by the skew correcting means, in order to convey the sheet in a state coincident with the sheet conveying direction when the skew correcting means is rotated to correct the skew of the sheet, and conveys the sheet in the rotated state.
