A vehicle display apparatus includes: an image display device that includes a display surface that displays an image; a lens member that is arranged facing the display surface; and an optical system that includes a mirror and forms, using the mirror, an optical path from the lens member to a reflection surface on a windshield. The lens member includes an incident surface that faces the display surface and an emission surface that emits display light of the image toward the mirror. When viewed from an image horizontal direction, the lens member is tapered with a thickness from the incident surface to the emission surface being reduced toward one side in an image vertical direction. When viewed from the image horizontal direction, the display surface is inclined relative to a direction orthogonal to the optical path of the display light emitted from the emission surface to the mirror.
