The present invention relates to a sludge storage hopper provided with a double gate. More specifically, the sludge storage hopper has a double gate which opens or closes a sludge discharge port of the hopper, wherein, an outer gate is moved to push an inner gate, and vibration produced when a pressing rod of the outer gate abuts against a locking hole formed in the inner gate is transmitted to the hopper, thereby crushing solidified sludge stored in the hopper for a long time. The sludge storage hopper includes a storage tank of an empty enclosure shape, which is supported by a support member above the ground, and has an inlet port on the upper end for receiving the sludge, and a discharge port on the lower end for discharging the sludge; a pair of inner gates disposed to face each other at a lower portion of the discharge port to open or close the discharge port of the storage tank, and having a pair of locking members protruding forward or rearward from any one of front and rear ends and arranged at spaced apart positions; a pair of outer gates provided below the inner gate to face each other, and having a pressing member protruding toward the inner gate and disposed between the locking members; and a driving member for opening or closing the outer gates.
