An elevator door apparatus comprising: a car door that opens and closes a car doorway by moving in a direction of frontage of the car doorway; a car engaging apparatus comprising: a fixed blade that is fixed to the car door; a pivoting link that is pivotable around a link supporting shaft that is disposed on the car door; and a movable blade that is disposed on the pivoting link, and that is displaced in response to the pivoting of the pivoting link between a gripping position in which spacing from the fixed blade is a predetermined spacing in the direction of movement of the car door, and a releasing position that is further away from the fixed blade than the gripping position; a gripping driving apparatus comprising: a pivoting lever that is pivotable around a lever supporting shaft that is disposed on the car door; a coupling member that makes the pivoting lever and the pivoting link operate interdependently with each other; and a cam that is fixed relative to the car doorway, and that pivots the pivoting lever that is moved together with the car door, the gripping driving apparatus making the movable blade reach the releasing position when the car door reaches a position at which the car doorway is closed; a landing engaging apparatus that can engage the fixed blade in the direction of movement of the car door, and that is gripped between the movable blade and the fixed blade when the movable blade is in the gripping position; and a landing door on which the landing engaging apparatus is disposed, and that opens and closes a landing doorway by being moved together with the car door in a state in which the landing engaging apparatus and the fixed blade are engaged with each other, whereby the pivoting link and the pivoting lever operate interdependently with each other such that a direction of pivoting of the pivoting link around the link supporting shaft and a direction of pivoting of the pivoting lever around the lever supporting shaft are identical directions, the elevator door apparatus being characterized in that: the movable blade is separated from the pivoting lever. a car door that opens and closes a car doorway by moving in a direction of frontage of the car doorway;
