PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a workpiece feeder which saves a space and also can shorten conveyance time of a workpiece. SOLUTION: The workpiece feeder includes: a first workpiece support 1 movable between a replacement position for replacing the workpiece and a machining position for making the workpiece machinable; a second workpiece support 2 movable between the replacement position and the machining position; and a guide unit having a first guide rail extending linearly while guiding the movement of the first workpiece support and a second guide rail provided in parallel to the first guide rail and linearly extending while guiding the movement of the second workpiece support, wherein both workpiece supports supported by the respective guide rails can reciprocate in reverse directions to each other and the respective workpiece supports guide the workpieces so that they are located at the same position at least at the machining position of the replacement position and the machining position.
