An X-ray imaging stand that supports an upright X-ray imaging panel by a column standing vertically through a carriage, includes a bar-like member having a longitudinal bar section that extends from the carriage in the upward direction over the upper end of the X-ray imaging panel and a horizontal bar section that extends from the leading end of the longitudinal bar section in the horizontal direction over the surface of the X-ray imaging panel receiving the X-ray, and a support mechanism that supports the longitudinal bar section of the bar-like member above the carriage such that the angle thereof is variable in plural stages in a plane parallel to the surface of the X-ray imaging panel receiving the X-ray.
