To provide a wafer transporting fork which is structured so that the wafer mounted on the wafer transporting fork hardly drops, if the wafer transporting fork moves at a high speed.

The wafer transporting fork 1 for mounting and transporting a wafer W is mounted on the arm top end of a transporting apparatus. The fork body 2 has a recess 3 forming a wafer mounting surface 4, and a slope 5a rising from a lower part to an upper part towards the radial center of the recess 3 is formed on the wall 5 of the recess 3 at the wafer mounting surface so that the diameter at the slope top end is larger than the outer diameter of the wafer W.
