A liquid jet pump constructed to suck a liquid within a container on which the pump is mounted and jet the liquid out of a nozzle by pushing down the head of the pump. The nozzle is so formed so as to ascend forward obliquely, and is provided with a discharge valve housing a ball-like valve for closing a valve seat provided at an proximal edge within the nozzle. The valve member is movable both back and forth within the nozzle to keep the liquid from dripping of the nozzle.
