PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cell collector, a cell collection chip, and a cell collection method which have excellent responsiveness and can securely collect cells, even in an environment of slow flow rate. SOLUTION: The cell collector comprises a flow path, an electric field application part, and a branch part. Through the flow path, a liquid containing cells flows. The electric field application part can apply an electric field having gradient in a direction different from a direction of the flow of the liquid at a first position in the flow path, according to collection signals instructing collection of cells. The branch part branches cells to which the electric field is applied and whose flow directions are changed by dielectrophoresis force, at a second position downstream of the first position in the flow path.
