A plasma processing apparatus performs a plasma processing on a substrate to be processed by generating plasma between a first electrode and a second electrode disposed to face each other in a processing chamber by applying a radio frequency power to the first electrode from a radio frequency power supply connected to the first electrode. The plasma processing apparatus includes a dielectric body disposed near the first electrode and a conductor provided in the dielectric body. Further, a radio frequency leakage line is connected to the conductor, and the radio frequency power applied to the first electrode leaks through the radio frequency leakage line to an earth ground. In addition, an impedance adjusting circuit is provided on the radio frequency leakage line and controls an amount of the radio frequency power flowing through the radio frequency leakage line by adjusting an impedance.
