An electric compressor includes a compression mechanism that compresses refrigerant, an electric motor that drives the compression mechanism, a drive circuit that drives the electric motor, a housing that forms therein a motor chamber in which the electric motor is accommodated, a cover that is attached to the housing, a rotary shaft, and a relay terminal portion. The cover is configured to cooperate with the housing to form a drive circuit chamber in which the drive circuit is accommodated. Rotation of the electric motor is transmitted to the compression mechanism through the rotary shaft. The relay terminal portion provides electrical connection between a wire of the drive circuit and a wire of the electric motor. The housing includes a partition wall that separates the motor chamber and the drive circuit chamber from each other. The relay terminal portion is disposed between the partition wall and the rotary shaft.
