The invention discloses a 
lightning protection device comprising a piezoresistor and a gas 
discharge tube, the piezoresistor is provided with a first surface and a second surface opposite to the firstsurface, and a first 
electrode connected with the piezoresistor is welded on the first surface of the piezoresistor, and a second 
electrode connected with the piezoresistor is welded on the second surface of the piezoresistor, one side face of the gas 
discharge tube is welded on the second surface of the piezoresistor and is connected with the second 
electrode, and a third electrode connected with the gas 
discharge tube is welded on the other side face of the gas discharge tube. The invention further discloses a surge protection device comprising the 
lightning protection device. Due to the direct 
welding of the 
lightning protection device with the gas discharge tube through the piezoresistor, the 
welding pins and 
welding points are reduced, the circuit loop is shorter, and meanwhile, theresidual 
voltage of the whole lightning protection device circuit can be lower, and the corresponding time is shorter.
