A spark plug including: a cylindrical metal shell; a cylindrical insulator fixed to the metal shell; a center electrode having its leading end protruding from a leading end of the insulator and its trailing end fixed to the insulator, and a ground electrode having one end fixed to the metal shell and forming a discharge gap between the ground electrode and the center electrode. The ground electrode includes a precious metal alloy portion containing: 50 weight % or more of a first component of one of Rh and Pt; less than 50 weight % of a second component of the other of Rh and Pt; and optionally a third component containing at least one of: Ni in an amount of less than 7 weight %; and Zr in an amount of less than 2 weight % the content of the third component being less than that of the second component.
