PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suction pad for a printing plate capable of stably suction-adhering and sheet-feeding both a printing plate and a protective sheet simultaneously without causing wrinkling at the protective sheet during suction-adherence. SOLUTION: This suction pad 40 is composed of a main body part 42 formed of a stiff body and a skirt part 44 formed of a resilient body. When sucking, a suction face 46 of the main body part 42 generates suction force by opposing to an interleaf sheet 13, and the skirt part 44 is resiliently elastically deformed along the interleaf sheet 13 and adheres closely to the interleaf sheet 13 to ensure airtightness. Since the main body part 42 is not deformed even if load when sucking is applied, the interleaf sheet 13 is not drawn and wrinkle does not occur. Consequently, air leakage does not occur between the interleaf sheet 13 and the printing plate 12 to suck both of the interleaf sheet 13 and the printing plate 12 stably and simultaneously for feeding.
