A fuel cell system that can offer fuel efficiency and water drainage performance which are compatible with each other, the fuel cell system including a fuel cell stack; a fuel gas supply device; a gas-liquid separator; a pressure measuring device; and a controlling unit, wherein the controlling unit controls pulsed operation of the fuel gas supply device in such a way that a measured pressure is within the range of a preset upper limit pressure and lower limit pressure, and the controlling unit uses a flow rate increasing control at least once when the pressure rises in the pulsed operation before the pressure reaches the upper limit pressure, as long as the pressure does not exceed the upper limit pressure, the flow rate increasing control being to increase the supply of the fuel gas supplied by means of the fuel gas supply device.
