It is intended to provide a continuous-casting-nozzle support apparatus capable of enhancing sealing performance between a continuous casting nozzle and an SN device. The continuous-casting-nozzle support apparatus comprises: a holding mechanism 40 disposed to extend from a stationary column 10 fixed onto a supporting surface, and adapted to be turnable in a horizontal direction and swingable or movable in an upward-downward direction; a lifting mechanism 70 provided on the side of a distal end of the holding mechanism 40; a supporting mechanism 80 provided on the side of a distal end of the lifting mechanism 70, and adapted to support a continuous casting nozzle 100; and a hooking device 90 provided in the lifting mechanism 70, and adapted to allow the lifting mechanism 70 to be hooked to a first engagement portion 111a formed on a sliding metal frame of a sliding nozzle device 110, wherein the lifting mechanism 70 is adapted to lift the continuous casting nozzle 100 through the supporting mechanism 80.
