By employing a simple structure, there is provided a device for holding a substrate, a process for holding a substrate, and a process for manufacturing laminated glass, which are capable of determining the position of a substrate to be held with good precision, ensuring a force enough to attract a substrate and preventing a substrate from coming off.A device for holding a substrate 10, which is adapted to substantially horizontally hold a substrate and vertically move the substrate, is characterized to include a support 2; at least one substrate attraction member 1 supported by the support 2 and configured to attract the substrate; and a plurality of strip-shaped elastic members 4, which couple an outer peripheral portion of the at least one substrate attraction member 1 to regions of the support 2 apart from the outer peripheral portion of the at least one substrate attraction member 1 in a horizontal direction; wherein each of the strip-shaped elastic members 4 includes a deformable portion, which is formed as a strip-shaped member disposed between one end portion for coupling to the at least one substrate attraction member 1 and the other end portion for coupling to the support 2 and having a wide width in a horizontal direction and a thin thickness in a vertical direction, and which allows the at least one substrate attraction member 1 to relatively move closer to and apart from the support 2 in the vertical direction and is deformable in the horizontal direction.
