A gas sensor includes a sensor element having a detection section at a distal end portion thereof, and an element cover that surrounds a periphery of the sensor element. The sensor element includes electrodes and formed on a surface of a solid electrolyte body, a heater, and a porous protective layer formed on an outside of the detection section. The element cover includes a cover member with gas flow holes on a side surface and a gas passage is formed between the cover member and the sensor element. A distance between the cover member and the side surface of the sensor element in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the sensor element is in a range of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm in the entire region of the gas passage leading from the gas flow holes to the detecting section.
