A hologram recording apparatus for recording a hologram by dividing light from a light source into recording light and reference light through a spatial light modulator, and emitting the recording light and reference light through the same objective lens onto a hologram recording medium; wherein the spatial light modulator has a light modulating region including a plurality of pixels; the light modulating region is divided into a central pixel region where a part of the light from the light source is led to the objective lens as the recording light, and a peripheral pixel region where the rest or another part of the light is led to the objective lens as the reference light; and a plurality of pixels included in the peripheral pixel region includes larger pixels than a plurality of pixels included in the central pixel region.
