Provided is a cutting fluid tank for a machine tool, with which the operator's time and effort for cleaning are reduced and the maintainability is enhanced, without entailing an increase in size. In a tank body, a cutting fluid flow channel having a spiral shape and extending from a tank center region to a tank outer peripheral region is formed by a flow channel forming plate. An inflow port into which a cutting fluid from inside a machining chamber flows is provided at an outer peripheral region of the lid, whereas an outflow port to take out the cutting fluid in the tank body to an outside is provided at a center region of the lid. A pump to pump up and supply the cutting fluid to the machining chamber is provided at the outflow port.
