PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe support which can bring the distal end section of a probe into contact with a measured area at a proper pressure, and enables an in-vivo component measurement with a good accuracy to be performed, and to provide a probe device utilizing the characteristics of the probe support, and to provide an in-vivo component measuring apparatus. SOLUTION: This probe support 1 is equipped with a frame body 10 of which the cross sectional shape seen from the end surface in the longitudinal direction is an approximately trapezoidal shape, and makes the lower surface of the frame body 10 as a contact surface 11 which is brought into contact with a subject's living body A. At the center part of the contact surface 11, one end of a hole section 12 having a circular cross section which internally houses a cylindrical skin contact element 20 of the probe 2 and guides the movement in the vertical direction is opened. Also, the hole section 12 incorporates a baffle plate 16 which vertically moves by being screwed with a screw 15 for adjustment in the vertical direction from outside of the frame body 10. The upper surface position of the skin contact element 20 of the probe 2 is restricted by the position of the lower surface of the baffle plate 16, so that a projecting amount of the contact surface 21 is fixed.
