A recording apparatus includes a recording head; an output unit that outputs the recording medium; an output tray that receives the recording medium; a pressing member that is configured to be displaced in an up-down direction and that presses the recording medium toward the output tray by displacement of the pressing member from an upper side to a lower side with respect to the recording medium output from the output unit; and a restricting member configured to be advanced and retracted in an advance direction and a retract direction. The restricting member restricts deformation of an upstream end portion in the output direction of the recording medium pressed by the pressing member, at a position at which the restricting member is advanced in the advance direction. The pressing member is displaced upward in a state in which the restricting member restricts the deformation of the upstream end portion.
