A scroll compressor may include an orbiting scroll; a non-orbiting scroll engaged with the orbiting scroll to form a pair of compression chambers between the orbiting scroll and the non-orbiting scroll; a back pressure chamber assembly coupled to the non-orbiting scroll to form a back pressure chamber to support the non-orbiting scroll toward the orbiting scroll; a first back pressure passage that connects a first intermediate pressure chamber in the compression chamber and the back pressure chamber; a second back pressure passage that connects a second intermediate pressure chamber having a higher pressure than the first intermediate pressure chamber and the back pressure chamber; and a back pressure control valve configured to selectively open and close the first back pressure passage and the second back pressure passage according to an operation mode. The back pressure control valve moves to a first position at which the first back pressure passage is open and the second back pressure passage is closed in a power operation, and moves to a second position at which the first back pressure passage is closed and the second back pressure passage is open in a saving operation.
