A surgical suture needle counter with the structure of having a needle fixing body made of thin plate formed of continuous projections and hollow parts in a waveform, wherein needles are inserted into the aperture of the projections and dropped into the hollow part to be fixed and held. Side rods protrude in both sides of the base of the hollow parts of the needle fixing body to clarify the precise position for the needle to be dropped when seen from above. The curved form of the hollow part of the needle fixing body is made to match the cross-section form of the needle to enable the inserted needle to fall into the aperture and fit closely onto the tray base. When the lid is open wide and turned to the base of the tray, the inside of the tray is inclined to facilitate easier visual confirmation of the fixed needles. The needle fixing body is mold processed of resin to be made a slightly longer than the tray ditch so that each projection part of the waveform adheres closely onto the tray, to increase the force to hold and fix the needles. Projections are provided to the base of the tray to grasp the needles, to obtain stronger force to hold and fix the needles. With the above points, this invention provides an affordable needle counter for surgical suture needles without using any magnetic material, having a strong force to hold and fix the needles, made to enable faster and easier visual confirmation of the number of needles after counting at one glance.
