A cylindrical battery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode body, an electrolyte solution, a tubular exterior can that has a bottom and that accommodates the electrode body and the electrolyte solution, and a sealing body that seals the exterior can. The sealing body includes a valve member, an insulating plate that includes a hollow portion, and a metal plate that has a first through-hole. The insulating plate is disposed between the valve member and the metal plate. At least one of the valve member and the metal plate includes a projection that projects toward an inside of the hollow portion. The valve member and the metal plate are joined to each other at the projection. The insulating plate has a second through-hole that is formed around the hollow portion.
