    Abstract: To achieve a cleaning module and a substrate processing apparatus that can improve the cleaning capability for a substrate with a simple structure. A cleaning module includes a first transfer mechanism 210-1, an ultrasonic cleaning tank 440, a transfer machine 420, and a second transfer mechanism 210-2. The first transfer mechanism 210-1 is for transferring a substrate WF with a surface to be polished facing downward up to a substrate grip or release position 418 on a downstream side along a transfer passage 405. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 440 is disposed at a position spaced apart from the transfer passage 405 and is for cleaning a substrate WF with the surface to be polished facing downward. The transfer machine 420 is for transferring the substrate WF between the substrate grip or release position 418 of the transfer passage 405 and the ultrasonic cleaning tank 440.
