The invention discloses a sparking plug. The sparking plug comprises a central electrode, an insulating sleeve and a metal shell, wherein a side electrode is arranged at a part, corresponding to the central electrode, on the metal shell; the side electrode comprises a connecting part and a sparking generation part; a discharging gap is arranged between the sparking generation part and the central electrode; the sparking generation part comprises an upper surface and a lower surface; a guide hole, which penetrates through upper and lower surfaces, is formed in a part, corresponding to the central electrode, on the sparking generation part; a plurality of guide units, which are distributed spirally, are arranged on an inner side wall of the guide hole; a supporting part, which stretches out horizontally of the guide hole, is formed in the upper surface of the sparking generation part; and an arc striking part, which stretches out upward, is arranged at a part, corresponding to the central electrode, on the supporting part. The arc striking part corresponding to the central electrode is arranged on the side electrode of the sparking plug, so that the arc striking success rate is greatly improved and phenomenon that an engine is difficult to start and fire lacking is easy to cause are avoided; and meanwhile, the guide hole is formed in the side electrode of the sparking plug so that sparking is sufficiently released after ignition, so that the energy conversion efficiency of the automobile engine is improved.
