Disclosed is a clamping apparatus for a disk drive. The clamping apparatus includes a clamp selectively attached to a turntable to fix a disk, and formed with a hook wing protruding in a centrifugal direction along an outer circumferential edge thereof, a hook section provided with a clamp through-hole through which the clamp is penetrated and which has a diameter smaller than that of the hook wing, and hooking and supporting the hook wing of the clamp, and an unclamping protrusion provided one side between the hook section and the hook wing, and first contacted with the hook section or the hook wing when the disk is unloaded to apply unclamping force. The unclamping protrusion is located at a position most distant from a lifting center of a pickup base having the turntable on which the disk is seated. Thereby, clamping force by which the clamp clamps the disk increases relatively, while the unclamping force for separating the clamp from the turntable decreases relatively, so that operational reliability of the disk drive is improved.
