Spark plug (10), having: a point (26, 46) extending in a first direction from a rear end to a front end; and an
electrode base metal (22, 41) with an extension section (23, 43) extending in the first direction, the front end section of which is connected to a rear end section of the tip (26, 46) by a melt zone (25, 45, 71), wherein in a section taken along the first direction and containing a central axis (C) of the tip (26, 46) extending in the first direction, A and B satisfy a comparison expression B / A ≥ 1,2, wherein in a case where two ends (51, 52, 61, 62, 72, 73) of a line indicating an interface (50, 60, 72) between the extension section (23, 43) and the melting zone (25, 45, 71) are arranged at the same position with respect to the first direction, A is a
linear distance between the two ends, or, In a case where one of the two ends (51, 52, 61, 62, 72, 73) is positioned in front of the other end with respect to the first direction, A is a distance on a straight line (55, 67, 83) passing through one end and extending perpendicularly to the central axis (C), from one end to an intersection point (56, 84) between the straight line (55, 83) and an outline (25a, 71a) of the melting zone (25, 71) on one side towards the other end, B is the length of the line that indicates the interface, wherein the line indicating the boundary surface (50, 60, 72) has at least one projection (53, 63, 65, 75, 77, 79, 81) that projects towards the front end face, and wherein a first vertex (54, 64, 76) located furthest forward below the vertices of the projections (53, 63, 65, 75, 77, 79, 81) is present in a first region (58, 68) of the line indicating the interface (50, 60, 72), the first region being arranged in the direction of one end with respect to the central axis (C), or in a second region (59, 69) of the line indicating the interface (50, 60, 72), the second region being arranged in the direction of the other end with respect to the central axis (C).
