The invention relates to the field of water quality monitoring equipment, and in particular relates to a water quality sampler for environmental monitoring, the water quality sampler includes a gripping rod, a bottle holder and a sampling bottle, the gripping rod and the bottle holder are connected, the bottle holder is used to hold the sampling bottle, the bottle body of the sampling bottle is vertical to the gripping rod, and is horizontally placed, the gripping rod is provided with a pulling wire rotating wheel, the pulling wire rotating wheel is winded with a pulling wire, the free end of the pulling wire is connected with one end of the sampling bottle, the pulling wire is used to incline the sampling bottle, the bottle holder can rotate relative to the gripping rod in the horizontal plane, the sampling bottle can rotate relative to the bottle holder in the vertical plane, the sampling bottle is a cylindrical structure, a vertically-placed sealing module is arranged at the left side of the sampling bottle, a horizontally-placed sealing module is arranged at the right side of the sampling bottle, and the sealing modules are used to adjust the position of the bottle body of the sampling bottle in water and seal openings at two ends of the sampling bottle. The water quality sampler can solve problems that bubbles in the sampling bottle are difficult to discharge when in sampling, a water sample is not representative for the reason that the sampling bottle destroys the flow field of a water flow, and the same kind of sampler in the prior art cannot sample in a narrow space.
