The invention discloses a metal hydride hydrogen storage tank. The metal hydride hydrogen storage tank comprises a tank body, a flange cover, a heat exchange pipe and cooling fins, wherein a storage cavity is formed inside the tank body, a storage groove is formed in the side wall of the storage cavity, the storage groove is filled with a composite phase change material, the flange cover is hermetically connected to a port of the tank body, a hydrogen inlet/outlet is formed in the flange cover and communicates with the storage cavity, the heat exchange pipe is arranged in the storage cavity, the input end and the output end of the heat exchange pipe communicate with the outside of the flange cover, the number of the cooling fins is multiple, the multiple cooling fins are arranged at intervals along arrangement track of the heat exchange pipe, and hydrogen storage materials are placed between the adjacent cooling fins. Therefore, heat management of the first stage is achieved through arrangement of the composite phase change material, heat management of the second stage is achieved through the heat exchange pipe, namely, the heat management efficiency is improved through different heat management modes, and the problem that an existing hydrogen storage tank is poor in heat management effect is solved.
