PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate dividing device capable of dividing a substrate having dividing groves with the specified dimensional accuracy certainly at the specified dividing groove and performing the dividing operation quickly and in a great quantity without contaminating the substrate. SOLUTION: The substrate dividing device includes a transporting mechanism 2 to transport a substrate W having dividing grooves in the condition placed on a lower sheet 35 and a dividing mechanism 1 to divide the substrate W along the specified groove, wherein the dividing mechanism 1 comprises a splitting part 13 and restraining part 16 arranged movable in the vertical direction, a coupling part 15 installed movably on the splitting part 13 and laid horizontally on the restraining part 16, a drive shaft 21 abutting to the coupling part 15 and moved by a crank mechanism in the vertical direction, a stopper mechanism 17 to restrict the vertical motion of the restraining part 16, and a receptacle part 12 positioned opposing to the splitting part 13 and restraining part 16 in such a way as pinching the lower sheet 35 and installed between them 13 and 16.
