A spark plug comprises a ground electrode including a chip whose one end has a cylinder shape having a diameter A from 0.8 to 1.2 mm and whose main component is a noble metal, and an electrode base material. In the ground electrode, a portion of the other end of the chip is joined to the electrode base material through a fused portion. The spark plug also comprises a chip-and-base-material interface in which the chip and the electrode base material contact each other and which is surrounded by the fused portion. In a cross section passing through a center axis, a distance between an end point Pa7 located on the chip-and-base-material interface and an end point Pa5 located on an interface between the chip and the fused portion is equal to or greater than 0.7 times the diameter A. |
