PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knee supporter capable of supporting the patella at its upper and lower peripheral edges by an easily mountable supporter without depending on taping. SOLUTION: This knee supporter surrounds the knee and the periphery surrounding it in the wearing state, and has at least two belt-like tightening parts (11) each having an elasticity stronger than the elasticity of the other parts (12). The belt-like tightening part is disposed at the position of clamping the patella from up and down direction along the upper edge and the lower edge of the patella in the state of wearing the knee supporter, and the belt-like tightening part (11) tightens the patella in the direction of clamping from the up and down direction at the wearing time. The two belt-like tightening parts (11) have each a ring shape, are separated from each other so as to lie along the upper edge and the lower edge of the patella at the front side of the knee in the state of wearing the knee supporter, and approach with each other at the rear side of the knee.
