The present invention relates to a water dispenser having a water supplying means provided in the outer of the door of the refrigerator for refilling the water tank when it is empty. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that a water dispenser of the refrigerator, wherein the water tank of the water dispenser can be refilled by supplying water from the outside of the door of the refrigerator, comprising: a water supplying box built in the outer of the door of the refrigerator and located higher than said water tank of said water dispenser, further comprising guide grooves on the sidewalls of said water supplying box and a hole to allow the supplied water to flow into said water tank positioned below said water supplying box; an inlet hose for connecting said hole of said water supplying box to said water tank; and a water supplying drawer for insertion into said water supplying box whereby said water supplying drawer is made for sliding tightly, and which comprises a closing portion provided at the bottom of the rear end of said water supplying drawer for closing or opening said hole, and which further comprises guide protrusions provided on the sidewalls of said water supplying drawer for insertion into said guide grooves. Using the present invention, a user can refill the water tank simply by pulling out the water supplying drawer and supplying water into it without opening the door when the water tank is empty.
