An ice dispenser includes a discharge mechanism (30) provided between an ice storage room (10) having an ice discharge opening (14) provided at a bottom portion, and a chute (20) for guiding ice received at a reception/delivery opening (22) arranged away from a position directly under the discharge opening (14). The discharge mechanism (30) includes a fixed member (32) extending from under the discharge opening (14) to an edge portion of the reception/delivery opening (22), and a moving member (36) which is reciprocated along the fixed member (32) by a drive section (40), and has a plurality of vertically penetrating holes (38) formed spaced apart in a moving direction. The discharge mechanism (30) is configured so that a control section controls a drive section (40) to change an amount of movement of the moving member (36) from the discharge opening (14) side to the reception/delivery opening (22) side, thereby adjusting a total number of the holes (38) made to sequentially face the reception/delivery opening (22) according to an amount of supply of the ice input from an input section.
