A fuel pump which can suppress fuel bubbles from being sucked into a fuel pressure chamber, and can achieve a stable fuel pressure property. The fuel pump has a pump body formed with a suction passage and a pump operation chamber, and a pressure pump mechanism to pressurize and discharge fuel. The pump body has a lower side wall portion and an upper side wall portion respectively at the vertically lower and upper sides of the inner wall portion forming a suction gallery chamber partly forming the suction passage. The pressure pump mechanism has a valve retaining member having an insertion portion inserted into the suction gallery chamber. The insertion portion has internal suction inlets through which the fuel is sucked from the suction gallery chamber into the pump operation chamber, the internal suction inlets being positioned in the intermediate height area in the suction gallery chamber.
