An intraocular lens insertion apparatus includes a substantially tubular insertion member configured to be inserted into an eye, an opening part provided at a tip end of the insertion member to eject an intraocular lens into the eye, and an intraocular lens push member which pushes the intraocular lens to move the intraocular lens through the insertion member and ejects the intraocular lens from the opening part into the eye. An opening direction of the opening part is tilted with respect to a direction in which the insertion member extends, and a recess having a predetermined depth and extending in the extending direction is provided at an outer peripheral surface of the insertion member on an insertion member rear end side of the opening part.
