A self-orienting laparoscopic needle holder having a shaft suitably sized for laparoscopy. The shaft has a jaw assembly at one end and a mechanism for opening and closing the jaws at the other end. The gripping surfaces of the jaws are curved to correspond to the curve of a curved surgical needle. One jaw has a convex shape while the other jaw has a corresponding concave shave. The shape of the curved gripping surfaces of the jaws automatically orients the curved surgical needle into a desired suturing position. The shape of the jaw assembly also makes it possible to easily release and regrasp the curved surgical needle during the suturing process of a laparoscopic operation.
