Provided is an alignment apparatus including holding and rotating means for holding an alignment object and rotating the alignment object, the alignment apparatus including supporting means for supporting that part of the alignment object being rotated which is different from that part of the alignment object which is held by the holding and rotating means. This makes it possible to align the alignment object highly accurately by preventing the alignment object from being deformed, e.g. bent, due to its own weight.
