To provide a component feeder capable of improving the supply efficiency of components, a component mounting machine, and a component supply method.SOLUTION: A component feeder(13) includes: a transportation route (TR) that transports components (3) in transportation direction (A) toward a pickup position (13 P); a driving source (34) that performs the feeding operation of components (3) on the transportation route (TR); a posture correction mechanism (42A) that corrects the posture of a component (3) at the pickup position (13 P). The posture correction mechanism (42A) includes: a first regulation unit (100) that regulates the component (3) at the pickup position (13 P) from moving in a lateral direction (B) intersecting with transportation direction (A); and a second regulation unit (102) that regulates the component from moving in a longitudinal direction along the transportation direction (A).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】部品の供給効率を向上させることができる部品供給装置および部品実装機、並びに部品供給方法を提供すること。【解決手段】部品供給装置（１３）は、部品（３）をピックアップ位置（１３Ｐ）に向けて搬送方向（Ａ）に搬送する搬送経路（ＴＲ）と、搬送経路（ＴＲ）での部品（３）の送り動作を行うための駆動源（３４）と、ピックアップ位置（１３Ｐ）にある部品（３）の姿勢を矯正する姿勢矯正機構（４２Ａ）と、を備え、姿勢矯正機構（４２Ａ）は、ピックアップ位置（１３Ｐ）の部品（３）に対して、搬送方向（Ａ）に交差する横方向（Ｂ）の移動を規制する第１規制部（１００）と、搬送方向（Ａ）に沿った前後方向の移動を規制する第２規制部（１０２）と、を備える。【選択図】図１２
