A sheet feeding apparatus for separating and feeding a plurality of sheets (20) stacked on a sheet stacking portion (6) one by one includes feeding means (11) for feeding the plurality of sheets stacked on the sheet stacking portion, separation means (12) for separating the sheets one by one by contacting to the sheets, returning means (13) for returning the sheets to the sheet stacking portion, and separation force switching means (23,28) for switching between generation and release of a separation force of the separation means (12). During a feeding operation, the feeding operation is switchable between a separating mode in which the separation force for a sheet is generated by the separation means (12) and a conveying mode in which the separation force is released.
