An ultrasonic biopsy needle includes a sheath inserted through a channel of an ultrasonic endoscope； a needle tube which is inserted through the sheath and capable of advancing and retracting in the sheath； and an operation portion which is connected to a proximal end of the sheath and is provided to advance and retract the needle tube. The sheath includes a meandering suppressing portion positioned more proximal than a proximal end of a bending portion of the ultrasonic endoscope when a distal end of the sheath is positioned in a visual field of an optical image-capturing mechanism of the ultrasonic endoscope. The meandering suppressing portion is formed of a metal coil, the ratio of the inner diameter of the channel to the outer diameter of the coil is in a range from 1.0:0.66 to 1.0:0.84, and the initial tension of the coil is equal to or greater than 5.0 [N].
