A fuel sensor includes a passage forming unit, an outer electrode, an inner electrode, and a fuel characteristic detecting device. The passage forming unit defines a fuel passage and a receiving hole intersecting with the fuel passage perpendicularly. The outer electrode having a cylindrical shape is accommodated in the receiving hole, and includes first and second flow ports, which communicate with an inlet side part and an outlet side part of the fuel passage in a radial direction of the outer electrode respectively. The inner electrode is disposed radially inward of the outer electrode. The fuel characteristic detecting device detects an electrical characteristic of fuel flowing through an inner passage which is formed between the inner electrode and the outer electrode. Passage resistance against fuel is larger along an outer passage, which is formed between the outer electrode and the passage forming unit, than along the inner passage.
