The invention discloses a drying device for textile fabric. The drying device comprises a drying oven, heating elements arranged on the inner wall of the drying oven, water squeezing devices arrangedin the drying oven, a first cloth guiding roller and a second cloth guiding roller arranged outside the drying oven. The drying device further comprises a drying roller arranged below the first clothguiding roller in a vertically moving mode, a drying cavity formed in the drying roller, an air outlet formed in the surface of the drying roller and communicating with the drying cavity, a driving component used for driving the drying roller to move up and down, and an air supply device matched with the drying roller. According to the drying device, the drying roller can move up and down to achieve air flow, so that the drying effect is good; and the drying roller is close to the fabric in position so as to dry the fabric in a short distance, and thus the drying effect is further improved.
