    Abstract: A liquid ejection apparatus includes: a liquid reception portion, a pump, and a liquid flow path. The liquid reception portion receives liquid ejected from an ejection portion on a lower side of the ejection portion. The pump is arranged apart from the liquid reception portion in a direction intersecting with a vertical direction and sucks in the liquid discharged to the liquid reception portion. The liquid flow path guides the liquid from the liquid reception portion to the pump. The liquid flow path includes first, second, and third partial flow paths. The first partial flow path extends obliquely downwardly from the liquid reception portion toward the pump side. The second partial flow path extends downwardly from an extension end portion of the first partial flow path while being bent. The third partial flow path extends upwardly from an extension end portion of the second partial flow path while being bent.
