There is provided a laser machining apparatus for sheet-like workpieces that allows an installation area to be reduced and that may be readily controlled. The laser machining apparatus comprises a Y-table movable in X- and Y-plane directions orthogonal to a laser beam irradiated from an ftheta lens, a supply reel for holding a supply-side roll in which a sheet-like workpiece is rolled in a roll and capable of supplying the sheet-like workpiece, and a take-up reel for holding a take-up side roll in which the sheet-like workpiece whose machining has been finished is rolled up in a roll and capable of taking up the sheet-like workpiece. Machining is carried out by fixing the sheet-like workpiece in the machining area on the movable table and by irradiating the laser beam while relatively moving the movable table to the laser beam. Here, at least one of the supply reel and the take-up reel is disposed on the movable table.
