To provide a seat weight measuring apparatus capable of estimating with higher precision the weight and the center of gravity of a passenger on the seat and with reduced cost, a seat weight measuring apparatus is provided. The seat weight measuring apparatus comprises a load cell, a connecting mechanism, which connects a seat and the seat fixing portion of the vehicle body, and a transmitting mechanism which transmits the action of the seat weight on the connecting mechanism to the load cell. In the transmitting mechanism and the connecting mechanism, arms are pivotally supported by horizontal pivots so that the arms can pivot about the pivots. Actions according to the pivotal movements of the arms are transmitted to a load cell. Loads on the front side portion and the rear-side portion of the seat are each measured by one center load cell.
