A recording apparatus includes a recording head that is disposed inside an apparatus housing and that ejects a liquid onto a medium; a liquid container attaching/detaching unit that is configured such that a liquid container which contains the liquid is attached/detached to/from the liquid container attaching/detaching unit itself and that is configured to be inserted/extracted through an inserting/extracting opening provided in the apparatus housing; and a liquid feeding path that feeds the liquid from the liquid container to the recording head. A unit-side path and an apparatus-housing-side path which constitute the liquid feeding path are mutually connected by the insertion of the liquid container attaching/detaching unit through the inserting/extracting opening of the apparatus housing, and the mutual connection is disconnected by the extraction of the liquid container attaching/detaching unit through the inserting/extracting opening of the apparatus housing.
