The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device and an electronic apparatus that enable readout to be performed at higher speed by shortening the processing time for AD conversion. Provided is a solid-state imaging device including: a pixel array unit in which pixels each having a photoelectric conversion unit are two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix, and column signal lines are wired for each column in the matrix arrangement of the pixels; and an AD conversion unit that converts signals output via the column signal lines, in which pixel sharing in units of a predetermined number of pixels is fulfilled by sharing a charge-voltage conversion unit between the photoelectric conversion units of a plurality of the pixels, and, when a digital signal according to a first charge of a first pixel among the first pixel and a second pixel constituting a sharing pixel to be AD-converted is determined in the AD conversion unit, the charge-voltage conversion unit of the sharing pixel adds the first charge from the first pixel and a second charge from the second pixel. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a CMOS image sensor of a column AD method using correlated double sampling (CDS).
