The utility model discloses an advanced abutment pressure monitoring device on a coal face, which comprises a mainframe equipped with software of a KSE-III type steel chord recording system, a collecting instrument, an underground substation and borehole stress meters, wherein the borehole stress meter is arranged in a coal body, the underground substation is connected with pressure sensors of the borehole stress meters through a cable, and the mainframe performs data transmission with the underground substation through the collecting instrument. The underground substation used for monitoring advanced abutment pressure on the coal face can continuously and uninterruptedly record data change of the borehole stress meter; the simultaneous arrangement of a plurality of the borehole stress meters can realize comprehensive stress data collection of the coal body in front of the face; and a stress change curve with different distances in front of the face can be obtained by performing association analysis on data among various monitoring points.
