The invention belongs to the field of vibration control, and particularly relates to a spring damping vibration isolator for isolating vibrations. The spring damping vibration isolator comprises an upper support plate, an elastic element and a lower support plate, wherein the elastic element is positioned between the upper support plate and the lower support plate; a damping cylinder is arranged below the lower support plate; a liquid damping material is arranged in the damping cylinder; a movable body linked with the upper support plate or lower support plate is arranged in the damping cylinder; and at least part of the movable body is arranged in the liquid damping material. In the invention, the damping cylinder and the movable body are independently arranged under the elastic element, thereby greatly enhancing the system damping, and overcoming the defect of limited contact area of spring and damping material restricted by the space in the damping cylinder in the prior art; and the invention strengthens the sealing performance, thereby greatly enhancing the waterproof property of the vibration isolator. The invention has the advantages of simple structure, stable property and strong applicability, can be widely used for damping in the fields of machinery, rail transportation, bridges, architectural structures and the like, and has obvious economic and social benefits.
