Herein disclosed is a disc loading mechanism for use with a disc player such as a video or compact disc player of slot-in type including: disc playing means for playing a disc recorded with data when the disc is brought to a play position; and a casing accommodating the disc playing means therein and formed in its front side with a disc slot through which the disc is inserted directly into the casing. The disc loading mechanism comprises: a pair of guide rails extending in the casing of the disc player from near the two ends of the disc slot of the casing and juxtaposed to each other at a spacing slightly larger than the diameter of the disc for guiding the disc inbetween; a loading roller interposed between the disc slot of the casing and the guide rails and made rotatable and reciprocally movable in parallel with the front side of the casing for engaging with the circumferential edge of the disc to drive the disc inwardly of the casing until the disc arrives at the play position; and drive means for driving the loading roller back and forth.
