Provided is a plasma ion source mass spectrometer with an ion deflector lens having an improved removal ratio of photons and neutral particles as compared with the conventional art while an ion transmittance is maintained. The ion deflector includes an input side plate-like electrode, an output side plate-like electrode, and a tubular electrode disposed between the input side plate-like electrode and the output side plate-like electrode. The tubular electrode is of a point asymmetrical configuration. The tubular electrode is arranged so that a center axis of the tubular electrode is closer to an axis of travel of ions upstream of the input side plate-like electrode than an axis of travel of ions downstream of the output side plate-like electrode.
