Provided are a spark plug in which the occurrence of spark blowout or the like is restrained for improvement of ignition performance, and a method of manufacturing the spark plug. A ground electrode 27 of the spark plug has a protrusion 28 which faces a center electrode 5. The distal end surface of the protrusion 28 has a noble metal tip 32 provided at the center thereof and includes an annular fusion portion 33 adjacent to the periphery of the noble metal tip 32, and an annular electrode base metal surface located externally of the annular fusion portion 33. A spark discharge gap 35 is formed between the center electrode 5 and the distal end of the protrusion 28 including the noble metal tip 32.
