A molten metal pouring nozzle for a continuous casting machine having an endless-travelling type mold, wherein the endless-travelling type mold is formed with two pairs of opposing wall members endlessly travelling in the same direction and at the same speed, and one end of the pouring nozzle is connected to a tundish for receiving molten metal, and the other end of the pouring nozzle is inserted into the mold. The molten metal pouring nozzle of the present invention comprises a nozzle body made of a refractory and a flow regulator made of a refractory. The nozzle body (14, 20) has a bore (1a, 3a), through which molten metal flows, along the axial line thereof, and the sectional area of the downstream end portion of the bore (1a, 3a) becomes gradually larger toward the downstream end thereof. The flow regulator (15, 18) is arranged at the center of the downstream end portion of the bore (1a, 3a) of the nozzle body (14, 20). The flow regulator (15, 18) forms, in cooperation with the bore (1a, 3a), a path for molten metal, by which molten metal flowing through the bore (1a, 3a) impinges against the inner surface of the mold, near the downstream end of the nozzle body (14, 20).
