A tube connecting apparatus capable of stably and reliably connecting tubes in which liquid is contained and sealed is provided. A tube connecting apparatus1equips a first tube-holding assembly2and a second tube-holding assembly3, each holding tube8, 9in which blood is contained and sealed in a parallel state. A first clamp6and a second clamp7, each pressing the tubes to a flat state, is provided at the first tube-holding assembly2and the second tube-holding assembly3. A tube-pushing member10which presses the tubes to a flat state is disposed movably to and integrally with the first clamp6at a side of the second clamp7. The tube connecting apparatus1has a cutting mechanism4, disposed between the first clamp6and the second clamp7, for melting and cutting the tubes, and has a movement mechanism which moves the first tube-holding assembly2and the second tube-holding assembly3such that end portions to be connected contact closely each other.
