An ink suction apparatus is disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the ink suction apparatus, which sucks in residual ink of an inkjet head, includes: a suction nozzle, which sucks in the residual ink; a heater, which is adjacent to the suction nozzle and heats the suction nozzle to prevent the suction nozzle from being blocked by the residual ink; a nozzle cover, which is installed on the suction nozzle and opens and closes the suction nozzle to control sucking power of the suction nozzle; a collection chamber, which collects the residual ink having been sucked into the suction nozzle; and a suction pump, which generates sucking power and provides the sucking power to the suction nozzle. The ink suction apparatus can prevent a suction nozzle from being blocked when sucking in hyper-viscous residual ink and control the sucking power of the suction nozzle by controlling the suction nozzle's opening and closing.
