The seat recliner of the present invention includes a support bracket, which is mounted to a seat frame, a guide holder, which is coupled at a first end thereof to the support bracket, and a slide holder, which is rotatably coupled to the guide holder between the support bracket and the guide holder. The seat recliner further includes at least one rotating bracket, which is coupled to the slide holder, a clutch unit, which controls the engagement between the guide holder and slide holder, and a control unit, which controls the clutch unit. The slide holder has a stop unit, which protrudes towards the support bracket, and the support bracket has a stopper, which contacts the stop unit when the slide holder is rotated at a predetermined angle, thus limiting rotation of the slide holder within a predetermined range. In the structure of the seat recliner disclosed in the present invention, the recliner prevents malfunctions of a seat back and makes the process of manufacturing the seat recliner more efficient.
