<p>The present invention provides a yarn package supply apparatus including a compactly configured yarn end cutting device that allows a yarn end to be reliably processed using only a small number of cutters. The yarn package supply apparatus 1 includes a parts feeder conveyor 2, a parts feeder 3 that aligns and supplies a plurality of yarn packages P dropped from the parts feeder conveyor 2, and a yarn end cutting device 4 that cuts a yarn end Q extending from each of the yarn packages dropped into the parts feeder 3 so as to straddle between the parts feeder conveyor 2 and the parts feeder 3. The yarn end cutting device 4 includes a yarn end cutting section 21 having a cutter 20 that cuts the yarn end Q, a linear guide 22 that guides the yarn end cutting section 21 along a single track R extending along a width direction of the parts feeder conveyor 2, and a rodless cylinder 23 that drives the yarn end cutting section 21 guided by the linear guide 22 so that the yarn end cutting section 21 reciprocates along the single track R (Fig. 1).
