Disclosed is a polyamide composition containing 100 parts by mass of a polyamide (A) having a melting point of 270-340°C, 1-100 parts by mass of a flame retardant (B), and 1-10 parts by mass of a drip inhibitor (C). In this polyamide composition, a fluororesin (C1) and at least one polymer (C2) selected from the group consisting of ionomers and modified aromatic vinyl polymers having a halogen atom content of less than 15% by mass are used at a mass ratio (fluororesin (C1)/polymer (C2)) of from 1/4 to 4/1 as the drip inhibitor (C).
