A fuel injector comprises a valve needle slidable within a bore and engageable with a seating to control the supply of fuel to an outlet opening, an end surface of the valve needle being exposed to the fuel pressure within a control chamber defined, in part, by a piston member moveable under the influence of a piezoelectric actuator. The control chamber may be supplied with fuel under pressure, in use, through a restricted flow path. The piston member may have an effective area exposed to the pressure within the control chamber which is greater than that of the needle.
