According to one embodiment, an imprint template manufacturing apparatus includes a support unit, a vaporization unit, and an adhesion preventing plate. The support unit supports a template that includes a base having a main surface, and a convex portion provided on the main surface and having an end surface. A concavo-convex pattern to be pressed against a liquid material to be transferred is formed on the end surface. The support unit supports the template with the convex portion facing downward. The vaporization unit is located below the template on the support unit and configured to vaporize a liquid-repellent material. The adhesion preventing plate is located below the template on the support unit and configured to allow the liquid-repellent material vaporized to adhere to the side surface of the convex portion of the template and to prevent it from adhering to the concavo-convex pattern.
