Provided is a fuel-cell end plate that is disposed at an end, in a stacking direction, of a fuel cell stack formed by stacking members including a single cell. This fuel-cell end plate has, on a surface disposed so as to face the outside of the fuel cell stack, a first rib that extends in a first direction and a second rib that extends in a second direction different from the first direction, intersects the first rib, and is formed so as to be shorter in height than the first rib.

Fuel-cell end plate

There is provided a fuel cell comprising a cell stacked body and a case configured to surround at least stacked body side faces of the cell stacked body. The case comprises a first case configured to include a first case side wall and a pair of first opposed side walls that are arranged to rise from a circumference of the first case side wall such as to have a draft angle; and a second case configured to include a second case side wall and a pair of second opposed side walls that are arranged to rise from a circumference of the second case side wall such as to have a draft angle. A first edge of each of the first opposed side walls is joined with a second edge of each of the second opposed side walls. This configuration suppresses size expansion of the fuel cell.
