The invention discloses a dual-polarization radiating element comprising a metal reflection baseplate and two pairs of vibrators arranged on the metal reflection baseplate, wherein vibrator arms of each pair of vibrators are mutually parallel or in the same line, and vibrator arms between the two pairs of vibrators are mutually perpendicular. The invention also discloses a broadband base station antenna which is formed by the linear arrangement of a plurality of dual-polarization radiating elements. The dual-polarization radiating element disclosed by the invention has the following advantages that the shapes of the vibrator arms are matched with a feeding mode of the vibrators, an integral forming mode of the stamping and bending of a metal plate is adopted, and the cost is greatly reduced; and the space between the vibrators is increased, meanwhile, the distance between the radiating elements is also increased, therefore the design difficulty of the partition degree of the antennae is reduced; and the characteristics of simple and compact structure, high performance, easiness of manufacture, convenience for installation and use, wide bandwidth, high gain, favorable cross polarization ratio, and favorable partition performance are achieved.
