An electrode member for a cold cathode fluorescent lamp which is excellent in sputtering resistance and a discharge property, and which is excellent in productivity, a method of producing the electrode member, and a cold cathode fluorescent lamp are provided. A cold cathode fluorescent lamp 1 includes a glass tube 20 and electrode members 10 arranged in the tube 20. Each of the electrode members 10 includes an electrode main body portion 11 having a bottomed tubular shape and a lead portion 12 arranged at a sealing portion of the glass tube 20, and the portions 11 and 12 are integrally formed. The electrode members 10 contain at least one type of element selected from Ti, Hf, Zr, V, Nb, Mo, W, Sr, Ba, B, Th, Al, Y, Mg, In, Ca, Sc, Ga, Ge, Ag, Rh, Ta, and rare earth elements (other than Y and Sc) in a total amount in the range of 0.01 to 5.0 percent by mass, and the balance composed of a Fe-Ni alloy and impurities. Since the alloy constituting the electrode members 10 contains a Fe-Ni alloy as a major component, the alloy has a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of glass and is excellent in plastic formability. Since the alloy constituting the electrode members 10 contains a specific additional element, the alloy is excellent in sputtering resistance and a discharge property.
