A cavity electrode structure, which is provided with a pair of opposing electrodes having a precisely formed narrow gap, and a sensor and a protein detection device, in which the cavity electrode structure is used, are provided. The cavity electrode structure comprises a first electrode, an insulating layer located on this first electrode and having a through hole that partially exposes the first electrode, and a second electrode opposed to the exposed surface of the first electrode by protruding towards the inside of the through hole of the insulating layer and provided with an opening that leads to the through hole of the insulating layer, the structure having a cavity that is formed by the exposed surface of the first electrode, the inner walls of the through hole of the insulating layer, and the surface of the second electrode that opposes the first electrode. The sensor comprises an electrically conductive bridging member of which one end is fixed to the exposed surface of the first electrode of the aforementioned cavity electrode structure, while the other end is fixed to the opposing surface of the second electrode, and which has a site that specifically binds to a target protein to be detected. The protein detection device uses a bridging member provided with a site that specifically binds to a target protein to be detected.
