PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surge absorber which can hold a surge absorbing element precisely in the center of a tube and prevent the tube from damage due to discharge. SOLUTION: This is a surge absorber 10 in which a surge absorbing element 15 is housed in a tube 40 filled with inert gas, terminals of the tube 40 are sealed with sealing electrodes 50, 50, and the sealing electrodes 50, 50 are connected to the terminals of the surge absorber element. The surge absorbing element 15 is supported in the tube 40 by engaging the outer circumference of electro-conductive, ring-shaped element supporter member 70, 70 which hold the terminal of the surge absorbing element 15 in the center of them with the inner circumference of the tube 40. A projection for discharge 71 which protrudes from the terminal to the inside of the surge absorbing element 15 is provided near the inner circumference part of the element supporting members 70, 70.
