PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide, at a low cost, a wire feeding device that can send out a selected wire without causing bends. SOLUTION: The wire feeding device 1 selects to feed externally a desired wire among the wires 7<SB>1</SB>-7<SB>5</SB>that are supplied from a plurality of wire supply sources 6<SB>1</SB>-6<SB>5</SB>in which wires are stored. The device is equipped with wire holding mechanisms 2<SB>1</SB>-2<SB>5</SB>which are separately installed correspondingly to the plurality of wire supply sources and which performs routing guide of the wire at the time of feeding and fixing of the wire at the time of selecting, a wire feeding mechanism 3 which externally sends out the wire passed through the wire holding mechanisms, and a moving mechanism 4 which at least moves the wire holding mechanisms. The device is designed to select the wire and to insert it into the wire feeding mechanism by moving the wire holding mechanisms in the wire feeding direction and in the direction orthogonally crossing the wire feeding direction by means of the moving mechanism.
