To provide a tube pump miniaturizing a motor while ensuring sealing force at the stop.
In this tube pump 1, a tube guide 6 is provided on one side of a rotor 4 journaling three rollers 5, 5, 5 rotatably, and a tube T is attached between the rotor 4 and the tube guide 6. When a stepping motor 14 connected to the rotor 4 is driven, the three rollers 5, 5, 5 move in a predetermined direction and sequentially crush and draw the tube T between the tube guide 6 and the rollers. The tube pump 1 is provided with a swing plate 13 for holding the rotor 4 movably in a direction to abut on or separate from the tube guide 6; a tension spring 30 energizing the rotor 4 in a direction to abut on the tube guide 6; and a relaxing means 31 for relaxing the energizing force of the tension spring 30.
