A gas vane pump wherein a lubricant is intermittently introduced into a housing (10) during rotation of a rotor (40), through a lubricant supply passage (100) formed through the housing and the rotor, and the relative position between the rotor having a diametric hole (112) and the housing having a communication groove (130) is determined such that when the rotor (40) is placed at an angular position which is in the middle of a predetermined angular range relative to the housing (10) and in which the hole (112) is in communication with the groove (130), a point of contact between a vane (70) movably held by the rotor and the inner circumferential surface of the housing (10) is located at the lowest position of the inner circumferential surface, so that when the rotor (40) is stopped at an angular position within the predetermined angular range, the vane (70) divides the remaining lubricant mass into two portions, which are discharged at respective two different times one after the other, making it possible to reduce the load acting on the vane upon restarting of the vane pump.
