There is provided a liquid ejection apparatus in which convection generated by a convection generation unit does not give an influence on an irradiation unit, ink can be heated and dried sufficiently, and bleeding can be suppressed from occurring. The liquid ejection apparatus includes a head unit which has a nozzle for ejecting liquid onto a recording medium, a carriage which makes the head unit relatively scan the recording medium, an infrared ray irradiation unit which is provided at a vertically upper side of the carriage in a scanning direction of the carriage and irradiates the recording medium with infrared rays, a convection generation unit which is provided at a vertically upper side of the carriage in the scanning direction of the carriage and generates convection on the recording medium, and a separation wall which is provided between the infrared ray irradiation unit and the convection generation unit.
