A liquid transport apparatus includes liquid transport channels disposed on an insulating surface of a substrate, individual electrodes disposed in regions corresponding to respective ones of the liquid transport channels, and wiring portions extending along the insulating surface of the substrate. The apparatus further includes a first insulating layer disposed so as to cover the electrodes and in which the wetting angle with respect to a conductive liquid changes according to an electrical potential difference between the conductive liquid and the electrodes, a second insulating layer which is disposed so as to cover the wiring portions disposed in contact with the first insulating layer, and a potential applying unit which applies an electric potential to the electrodes.
