An apparatus for unpiling containers, particularly pastry containers, comprises a bearing structure, a plurality of gripping members (7) associable with at least one pile of containers (P) disposed on top of each other for unpiling said containers (P), first actuating means (M1) acting between the bearing structure and the gripping members (7) to move the gripping members (7) from the picking-up station (9) to the laying station (10) and vice versa, and second actuating means (M2) acting on the gripping members (7) to move said members away from and close to the picking-up (9) and laying (10) stations. The first actuating means (M1) comprises a carousel mechanism (2) rotatable about a first axis (X1) to transfer each gripping member (7) between the picking-up station (9) and the laying station (10) by rotation of the carousel mechanism (2) about the first axis (X1). The second actuating means (M2) is adapted to move each gripping member (7) between a first position corresponding to a maximum distance of the gripping member (7) from said first axis (X1) and a second position corresponding to a minimum distance of the gripping member (7) from said first axis (X1).
