An ultrasound probe comprises: a transducer array having an ultrasound transmission/reception surface; a processing circuit mounted on a signal processing board for processing an ultrasonic echo from a subject received with the transducer array to produce a reception signal; a housing including a transducer array compartment for housing the transducer array at one end and the signal processing board near the transducer array, the housing including a projection at another end projecting in a given direction perpendicular to a center line of an arrangement of the transducer array and a grip between the projection and the transducer array compartment for holding from the given direction, a center of gravity lying in a position away from the center line of the arrangement of the transducer array in the given direction when the ultrasound transmission/reception surface of the transducer array is in a horizontal posture.
