The invention provides a jacquard machine, belonging to the technical field of textile machinery and solving the problems that the vertical motion of a griffe driven by a gear set or a sprocket wheel set in the prior can influence the quality of a jacquard fabric and the like. The jacquard machine comprises a rack, a left supporting plate and a right supporting plate, wherein a through hole I is formed in the left supporting plate, a left upper griffe holder and a left lower griffe holder are arranged in the through hole I, a through hole II is formed in the right supporting plate, and a right upper griffe holder and a right lower griffe holder are arranged in the through hole II; an upper griffe arm is arranged fixedly on the left upper griffe holder and the right upper griffe holder, an upper griffe is arranged on the upper griffe arm, an upper jacquard needle is arranged on the upper griffe, a lower griffe arm is arranged fixedly on the left lower griffe holder and the right lower griffe holder, an lower griffe is arranged on the lower griffe arm, an lower jacquard needle is arranged on the lower griffe, and a swing mechanism capable of driving the upper griffe and the lower griffe to do vertical reciprocating staggered motion is arranged on the rack. The jacquard machine has the advantages of being capable of realizing crossed weaving to obtain a jacquard fabric, and being simple in structure.
