In the plasma processing apparatus 1, microwaves supplied from a coaxial waveguide 30 are introduced into a processing container 2 via a wavelength-shortening plate 25, a process gas is plasmatized in the processing container 2, and a substrate W is processed using the plasma. In the plasma processing apparatus 1, a dielectric member 45 is disposed at a connecting area between the coaxial waveguide 30 and the wavelength-shortening plate 25. Inside an outer conductor 32 of the coaxial waveguide 30, the dielectric member 45 is disposed to surround a part of a circumference of an inner conductor 31 of the coaxial waveguide 30, and is disposed at any position around the circumference of the inner conductor 31.
