A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a pressure generation unit that is driven by application of a driving signal and causes a change in pressure on a liquid inside a pressure chamber; a liquid ejecting head that ejects the liquid toward a landing target from a nozzle when the pressure generation unit is driven; a charging member that performs charging by friction with another material; a liquid droplet collection member that collects at least a part of a liquid droplet which has not been landed on the landing target; and an electrode member that faces at least a part of the charging member with a gap formed between the electrode member and the charging member. The liquid droplet collection member is electrically connected to the electrode member and a charge with the same polarity as a charged polarity of the charging member is induced to the liquid droplet collection member.
