An embodiment provides a vane pump device includes multiple vanes; a rotor that includes vane grooves which support the vanes so that the vanes can move in a radial direction of rotation and which form columnar grooves accommodating oil on a rotation center side, and that rotates due to a rotating force received from a rotation shaft; a cam ring that includes an inner circumferential surface facing an outer circumferential surface of the rotor, and surrounds the rotor; and an inner plate that covers an opening of the cam ring. The inner plate includes a first recess portion that supplies low pressure oil to the columnar grooves, a second recess portion that is formed away from the first recess portion, and supplies high pressure oil to the columnar grooves, and an inner-plate first groove connected to the first recess portion and the second recess portion.
