A magnetic tape loading device of which the main body portion may be reduced in size and which assures positive contact under pressure of a magnetic tape with a sliding surface of a drum-shaped magnetic head. The loading device includes a driving unit 21, a first transmission unit 22 driven by the driving unit 21, a first magnetic tape actuating unit 25 moved by the first transmission unit 22 for pulling out a magnetic tape 4 placed on a tape supply reel 8 and a second transmission unit 23 driven by the first transmission unit 22. The loading device also includes second magnetic tape actuating units 26, 27 moved by the second transmission unit 23 for pulling out the magnetic tape 4 for abutting the tape thus pulled out against a sliding surface 90 of a drum-shaped magnetic head 18, a third transmission unit 24 driven by the second transmission unit 23 and third magnetic tape actuating units 28, 29 moved by the third transmission unit 24 for pulling out the magnetic tape placed on a tape take-up reel 9.
