The present invention provides a short arc type mercury discharge lamp that, at lamp startup time, quickly shifts glow discharge to arc discharge, and quickly shifts the arc discharge position from the coil to the electrode tip, making it possible to maintain a stable discharge state, in the short arc type mercury discharge lamp 1, a coil 5 has been arranged on the side surface of an electrode 4, and 0.15 mg/mm3 or more of mercury has been sealed inside a discharge vessel, wherein the side part 51 of the coil 5 close to the tip side of the electrode is constructed so as to be fixed to the side surface of the electrode 4, and, at least, the part 52 of the coil 5 following the side part 52 is distanced from the side surface of the electrode.
