To provide an engraving head and an engraving apparatus which keep a distance between the mounting surface of an object to be engraved and the tip of an engraving pin within a proper range without changing the standby position of the engraving pin, nor processing the engraving pin.

The engraving head 30 engraves an object to be engraved with the tip of an engraving pin 33. The engraving head 30 includes a casing 31 arranged with a restoration spring 113 for energing the engraving pin 33 to the +Z direction and a driving means 40 for giving pressure to the engraving pin 33 against an energing force, and a support member 32 which is joined to the casing 31 and projects the engraving pin 33 toward the object to be engraved while being attached to a carriage of the engraving apparatus. A sheet-like member 30a interposed between the casing 31 and the support member 32 is changed to a sheet-like member having a different thickness, to adjust the distance La (mm) between the center (an attaching position to the carriage) of a carriage attaching hole 32e and the tip of the engraving pin 33.
