Abstract
A spark plug has a metal shell and a ground electrode joined at a base end portion thereof to the metal shell and includes a surface layer and a core higher in thermal conductivity than the surface layer. The core includes a first core member and a second core member. A weld region, where the ground electrode is joined to the metal shell, has an undulating shape. A distance between frontmost and rearmost ends of a part of the weld region in contact with the first core member in the axis direction is 0.15 mm or more.
