To provide a weighing device using a non-contact displacement sensor in place of the conventional weighing device using a load cell.
A weighing device 10 includes a base 22, a top circular plate member 24 for receiving the weight of a measuring object M, a first strain cylindrical member 31 and a second strain cylindrical member 32, and a laser length measurement sensor 50. The first strain cylindrical member 31 and the second strain cylindrical member 32 having different elastic moduli are arranged between the base 22 and a reception part and are compressively deformed by the weight of a measurement object. The laser length measurement sensor 50 non-contactly measures a compressive deformation amount of the first strain cylindrical member 31 and the second strain cylindrical member 32.
