A snare trap is provided, including a trigger base and a snare assembly. The snare assembly includes a cable having a noose, an abutting mechanism sleeved on the cable, a restricting mechanism disposed on the cable and an elastic member disposed between the abutting mechanism and the restricting mechanism. The noose is releaseably disposed around the trigger base, and the elastic member is compressible and restricted by the restricting mechanism. The elastic member includes a plurality of segments connected with one another, and at least one of the plurality of segments includes a plurality of coils each having an outer diametric dimension different from an outer diametric dimension of another one of the plurality of coils. When the noose is disposed around the trigger base and the elastic member is compressed, at least two of the plurality of coils are radially overlapped with each other.
