Disclosed herein are a Gaussian sampling apparatus and method based on resistive RAM. The Gaussian sampling apparatus based on resistive RAM includes Resistive RAM (RRAM) in which a resistive switching layer is disposed between an upper electrode and a lower electrode, and a sampling controller, wherein the sampling controller is configured to perform an operation corresponding to an erase command of applying a reset voltage to the RRAM when a Gaussian error request is received from an outside of the Gaussian sampling apparatus, perform an operation corresponding to a program command of applying a set voltage to the RRAM after the operation corresponding to the erase command has been completed, perform an operation of reading resistance data from the RRAM, and provide a response to the outside of the Gaussian sampling apparatus by transmitting the resistance data of the RRAM as Gaussian error data.
