The present invention provides a reaction container, a reaction device, and a method of amplifying a nucleic acid, which are suitable for locally heating a sample which contains a nucleic acid, enable rapid control of temperature changes in the sample, provide easy fabrication, and are low cost. The invention provides a reaction container used for a nucleic acid amplification reaction, which includes a sample holding portion formed from a cavity in the reaction container; and a heating element for heating a sample which contains a nucleic acid and which is held in the sample holding portion, wherein the heating element is made of a conductive material and arranged at a location where the sample or the sample and the periphery of the cavity is (are) to be locally heated, the conductive material generating heat by electromagnetic induction.
