Summary:An exhaust gas recirculation apparatus for engine includes an EGR passage, a first EGR valve and a second EGR valve provided in series in the EGR passage to regulate an EGR flow rate in the EGR passage. The first EGR valve is configured as a poppet valve and is configured to open in a range of opening degree from full open to full close. The second EGR valve has a maximum opening degree restricted to a predetermined small opening degree smaller than full open. The second EGR valve is configured to open in a range of opening degree from the predetermined small opening degree to full close and to allow the first EGR valve to provide a maximum exhaust flow rate when the second EGR valve is held at the predetermined small opening degree.
