A reciprocating pump includes a motor having a motor shaft, four cylinders, four pistons disposed in the cylinders and reciprocated by the motor shaft, a casing accommodating the motor shaft, and eight ducts. The four cylinders are disposed at positions offset 90 degrees from each other about the motor shaft. Cylinder shaft directions are perpendicular to a motor shaft direction. The eight ducts include four intake ducts and four exhaust ducts. Gas is introduced into the cylinders through the intake ducts and discharged from the cylinders through the exhaust ducts. The eight ducts are disposed in a region surrounded by the cylinders when viewed along the motor shaft direction. The eight ducts are arranged in four pairs with each pair disposed between adjacent cylinders about the motor shaft. The four pairs of ducts disposed between the adjacent cylinders extend along the motor shaft direction.
