A position sensor with excellent linearity of coil impedance is provided. This position sensor is equipped with a tubular detection coil, a magnetic core movable in the detection coil, a drive circuit for the detection coil, a signal processing circuit for converting a change in impedance of the detection coil into an electric signal, and a shield member disposed around the detection coil. The shield member is a tubular member having a first inner surface for surrounding an axial region of the detection coil, and a second inner surface for surrounding another axial region of the detection coil. The tubular member is formed such that a distance between the second inner surface and the detection coil is smaller than the distance between the first inner surface and the detection coil.
