A constant-voltage power supply circuit is disclosed that is able to prevent overshoot of an output voltage possibly occurring when changing a constant-voltage circuit in operation and is able to supply a constant output voltage. The constant-voltage power supply circuit includes a first constant-voltage circuit, having a first output transistor and a first output voltage controller, that generates a first reference voltage and generates a first proportional voltage in proportion to a voltage on an output terminal, and a second constant-voltage circuit having a second output transistor and a second output voltage controller that generates a second reference voltage and generates a second proportional voltage in proportion to the voltage on the output terminal. When the first output voltage controller or the second output voltage controller starts operations according to a control signal input from the outside, a rising edge of the first reference voltage or the second reference voltage is delayed so as to be later than a rising edge of the first proportional voltage or the second proportional voltage.
