Abstract
A spark plug includes: an insulator having an axial hole; a conductive member disposed around the insulator; a center electrode disposed inside the axial hole, having a bar shape extending in the axial direction, and located on a rear end side with respect to a front end of the conductive member; a ground electrode forming a spark gap between the ground electrode and the center electrode; and a connection part including a plurality of spokes extending in a radial direction whose inner ends are connected to the ground electrode, and connecting the conductive member to the ground electrode. The connection part includes a joint part that is jointed to an inner surface of the conductive member, and the ground electrode has at least one of a notch and a groove at a position that is different from a position connected to the spokes in a circumferential direction.
