The object of the invention included in the present application is to automatically prevent the deterioration of the image even when the image quality of the projected image is deteriorated due to the replacement of the light source or the like. The following light beam scanning image projection apparatus is one means for achieving the object. In the light beam scanning image projection apparatus including a plurality of light sources which emit the light beams of respectively different wavelengths, a driving section which modulates the intensity of each light beam in accordance with the image signal, the light axis alignment means which aligns the light axes of each light beam, and scanning means which scans the light beams, the light axis alignment means includes: a plurality of optical elements; and an adjusting section which adjusts at least one of a position and a gradient of at least one of the optical elements, and the light beam scanning image projection apparatus further includes: detecting means which detects a shift between a spot center of each light beam and a center reference point; and position correction means which controls the adjusting section based on a detection result in the detecting means to adjust at least one of the position and the gradient of at least one of the optical elements of the light axis alignment means, thereby aligning the light axes of each light beam.
