Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring a fluorescence lifetime. The apparatus for measuring the fluorescence lifetime comprises an excitation light generator that generates excitation light to be irradiated on a sample including fluorescence molecules; a fluorescence photon collecting unit that collects a plurality of fluorescence photons generated by irradiating the excitation light on the sample; a light sensor that converts the collected fluorescence photons into a fluorescence electrical signal; and a fluorescence lifetime signal processor that determines the fluorescence lifetime by calculating the average time of the fluorescence electrical signal with respect to a predetermined apparatus delay time. According to the above configuration, the present invention can accurately and precisely measure a fluorescence lifetime in a short measurement time by easy calculation.
