A diaphragm pump includes a diaphragm, a diaphragm case and a driver. The diaphragm has a center point and an outer peripheral portion. The diaphragm case supports the diaphragm at the outer peripheral portion thereof, thereby defining a pump chamber in the diaphragm case. The driver holds the diaphragm at the center point thereof. The diaphragm is deformed as the driver is reciprocated, thereby accomplishing a fluid to flow into and to be discharged out of the pump chamber. The driver includes a fitting member and a flange. The fitting member fits the diaphragm and has a first surface for contacting the diaphragm. The flange is formed outside the fitting member. The flange has a second surface for contacting the diaphragm when the diaphragm is deformed toward the pump chamber. The second surface has a first convex surface region which is formed continuously with the first surface.
