The invention discloses a pre-heater for a sintering ignition furnace and belongs to the field of pre-heaters. The pre-heater for the sintering ignition furnace comprises a cold air delivery pipe, a hot air delivery pipe and a pre-heater body. The pre-heater body is arranged in an ignition furnace heat-preservation section and connected with the cold air delivery pipe and the hot air delivery pipe. The pre-heater body comprises a heat exchange pipe. The heat exchange pipe is composed of a plurality of parallel straight pipes and bends and is internally provided with heat accumulation pieces. The heat exchange pipe is installed on the upper portion of the furnace body of the ignition furnace heat-preservation section. By adopting the pre-heater of the structure, air passing through the pre-heater can be made to reach a certain temperature through the temperature of a hearth of the ignition furnace and is mixed with coal gas entering a burner to be burnt, the burning temperature is increased, and therefore fuel consumption is reduced, and meanwhile the phenomenon that water and impurities in coal gas frequently block a coal gas core pipe of the burner is completely eradicated or retarded.
