<p>A heat-insulating piston comprises a ceramic cylindrical member (4) having the lower end surface thereof in contact with the outer peripheral upper end surface of a piston skirt member (2), a head base member (1) having the peripheral portion thereof in contact with an inner peripheral step portion (12) of the cylindrical member (4) and fixed to the piston skirt member (2), a heat-insulating member (3) disposed on the head base member (1) and a ceramic thin film member (5) disposed on the heat-insulating member (3) and having the peripheral portion (13) thereof bonded to the cylindrical member (4), this invention relating to a heat-insulating piston which has metallic heat-resistant members (10) between the inner peripheral step (12) portion of the cylindrical member (4) and the peripheral portion (13) of the head base member (1) in order to prevent the occurrence of a gap between the thin film member (5) and the heat-insulating member (3).</p>
