A charged particle beam drawing apparatus includes: a charged particle optical system; a substrate stage; an interferometer configured to measure a position of the stage in the direction of the optical axis of the charged particle optical system; a measuring device configured to measure a characteristic of the charged particle beam; and a controller configured to correct the measurement, obtained by the interferometer, using correction information. The controller is configured to cause first measurement as measurement by the interferometer and second measurement as measurement by the measuring device to be performed in parallel, and to obtain the correction information based on the first measurement and the second measurement obtained with respect to each of the plurality of positions.
