    摘要: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a feeding member, a first supporting member including a first supporting surface, and a second supporting member including a second supporting surface. The second supporting member is configured to move between a first position above the first supporting member and a second position to which the second supporting member is retracted upward from the first position. In a state where the second supporting member is positioned at the first position, the feeding member is configured to feed a first sheet supported on the first supporting surface and a second sheet supported on the second supporting surface. In a state where the second supporting member is positioned at the second position, the feeding member is configured to feed the first sheet that is supported on the first supporting surface at a position below the second supporting member.
