A catalytic combustor is provided with a housing supplied with mixed gas including exhaust fuel gas from a fuel electrode of a fuel cell and exhaust oxidizer gas from an oxidizer electrode of the fuel cell, and a catalyst combusting the mixed gas. At an area upstream of the catalyst, an inner periphery surface of the housing has a continuous shape, and at least one of the exhaust fuel gas and the exhaust oxidizer gas is supplied to the housing in a way to generate swirl flow in the mixed gas so as to swirl along the inner peripheral surface. Such a catalytic combustor is applied to a fuel cell system provided with a fuel cell having a fuel electrode and an oxidizer electrode.
