A plasma processing apparatus includes: a radio frequency (RF) power source which applies an RF power to a lower electrode; a direct current (DC) power source which applies a DC voltage to an upper electrode; a ground member for the DC voltage that is a ring shape formed of a conductive material, that is arranged in the processing chamber such that at least a part of the ground member is exposed to the processing space, and that forms a ground potential with respect to the DC voltage applied to the upper electrode; and a plurality of vertical movement mechanisms which move the ground member for the DC voltage in a vertical direction to adjust a grounding state of the ground member for the DC voltage.
