A nut supply apparatus for a welding machine is provided to reduce volume and weight of the nut supply apparatus, and to cut down manufacturing cost by mounting a nut supply hopper over a nut alignment unit and continuously feeding nuts by tare without an additional nut supply hopper vibrating unit. A nut supply apparatus(100) includes a vibrator(120) installed in an upper part of a base, a nut alignment unit(130) installed in an upper part of the vibrator for arranging nuts(200) by vibration, a nut supply hopper(140) feeding nuts to the nut alignment unit, and a nut guide tube transferring the nuts to a nut feeder. The nut supply hopper has a nut storage container(142) installed in an upper part of the nut alignment unit and cylindrically opened up and down, a first guide plate(144) formed of an arc, inclined downward and fixed to the nut storage container to guide nuts along an inclined surface, a second guide plate(146) inclined downward, fixed to the inside of the nut storage container and formed of an arc to guide nuts to a lower part of the nut storage container, and a storage container support unit supporting and fixing the nut storage container on the nut alignment unit. A partition plate(146a) is integrally formed in the second guide plate and vertically bent from a lower end of the inclined surface to the lower part of the nut storage container.
