The invention relates to a double-cavity excitation enhanced microwave plasma torch generation device, and belongs to the technical field of microwave plasma. The device comprises a microwave magnetron, a circulator, a directional coupler, a microwave plasma coupling waveguide, a cylindrical waveguide, an igniter and a discharge tube. After the microwave magnetron, the circulator and the directional coupler are sequentially connected in series, the directional coupler is connected with the microwave plasma coupling waveguide. The cylindrical waveguide chamber is additionally arranged in the axial direction of the discharge tube perpendicular to a compression rectangular waveguide; a thermal resistance waveguide in the microwave plasma coupling waveguide effectively isolates the influence of thermal release of plasma discharge on a whole system; the igniter makes the whole system operated by a single person to complete a series of processes of ignition, excitation and maintenance, and the ignition success rate is close to 100% under the condition that the no-load output of a microwave source is low. Plasma torch afterglow with a larger volume action area can be obtained by increasing the maximum power of a plasma torch, so that the device can operate stably and reliably for a long time, and can be used in various relevant fields such as combustion assistance, nano material synthesis, waste gas treatment and high-temperature-resistant material surface modification.
