A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence controlling circuitry and processing circuitry. The sequence controlling circuitry acquires first k-space data in units of a plurality of segments while arranging the plurality of segments to overlap one another in a read-out direction, the first k-space being divided into the plurality of segments in the read-out direction. The processing circuitry calculates a weighting coefficient on a basis of information about a gradient magnetic field related to the acquisition and generates second k-space data on a basis of the plurality of segments in the first k-space data and the weighting coefficient.
