PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact probe that allows for continuity inspection of a minute section to be measured and can ensure durability, and to provide a method for manufacturing the contact probe. SOLUTION: In the contact probe for measuring electric characteristics by obtaining contact pressure to a body to be measured by applying loads to both the ends, the above problems are solved by a probe 1 which includes: a body section A having an insulating cover 3 at the outer periphery of a pin-shaped metal conductor 2c; and an end B made of a metal conductor 2b at a side in contact with the body to be measured, does not have any insulating covers 3, and is machined thinner than a diameter D of a metal conductor 2c in the body section A. In this case, the ratio d/D of a diameter D in the metal conductor 2c of the body section A to a diameter d in the metal conductor 2b of the end B is preferably 0.1 to 0.8 and the diameter Do of the contact probe is preferably 0.025 to 0.12 mm.
