A reference electrode which does not require the use of a gelled hydrophobic ionic liquid that has a hardness or viscosity at or above a prescribed level that is difficult to manufacture, and that is very thick etc., and which is capable of improving product life cycle. The reference electrode (100) is provided with an internal electrode (1), and a container (3) that contains a filler (2) that electrically connects the internal electrode (1) and a sample liquid (4). The filler (2) forms a layer between the internal electrode (1) and an opening (31) provided to the container (3) so that the sample liquid (4) and the filler (2) come into contact. The filler is composed of: a first layer (21) comprising an aqueous electrolyte solution, formed so as to come into contact with the internal electrode; a second layer (22) comprising a hydrophobic ionic liquid, formed so as to come into contact with the first layer; and a third layer (23) comprising a gelled hydrophobic ionic liquid, that comes into contact with the second layer (22) and is formed in the opening (21). |
