PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water supply device, capable of rapidly cooling water supplied to a water storage tank and keeping the inside of a refrigerator at low temperature without dropping of water. SOLUTION: This device comprises an evaporator 12 forming a freezing chamber 9, which is arranged in an inside upper part of a refrigerator body 7 having a door 8, a water storage tank 10 arranged on the inside of the door 8 opposed to the evaporator 12, a pipe 11 for moving water stored in the water tank 10 to the outside of the door 8, the pipe having one end connected to the water storage tank 10 and the other end arranged out of the door 8, a cooling device 14 arranged on the inside above the water storage tank 10, and a water receiver 15 for receiving dew condensation water, provided below the cooling device 14 in the upper part of the storage tank 10. The water storage tank 10 arranged below the cooling device 14 is cooled while preventing dropping of dew condensation water to the periphery of the water storage tank 10, and the water supplied to the tank 10 can be quickly cooled and kept at low temperature.
