A sensor element includes an element body that contains a measurement-object gas flow section and a heat generation portion. The measurement-object gas flow section includes a main pump chamber, an auxiliary pump chamber, and a measurement chamber. A distance X1 in a left-right direction between a part of a first inner linear portion and a part of a second inner linear portion of the heat generation portion that overlap a main pump chamber projection region is equal to or more than ⅓ of a width Wp of the main pump chamber projection region in the left-right direction. A distance X2 in the left-right direction between a part of the first inner linear portion and a part of the second inner linear portion that overlap an auxiliary pump chamber projection region is equal to or more than 0.4 times the width Wp.
