An intake apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of branch pipes connected at downstream ends thereof to an engine main body, an intake chamber to which upstream ends of the branch pipes are connected, and a common intake air introducing part connected to the center of the intake chamber in a cylinder arrangement direction. The intake chamber includes a projecting part projecting toward the engine main body relative to the common intake air introducing part. An EGR introducing passage is connected to the center of the projecting part in the cylinder arrangement direction. A downstream end of the EGR introducing passage is directed toward a wall of the projecting part on the common intake air introducing part side.
