To ensure an output performance (EP) of a fuel cell stack (3) without providing excessive operation restriction, a controller (43) of a fuel cell system (1) is provided with: an operation restrictor (45) configured to restrict an operation of the stack (3) so that a delivered air temperature (T2) of an air compressor (7) is kept from exceeding its upper limit (Lt) based on a sucked air temperature (T1) detected by a temperature sensor (27) and an atmospheric pressure (P0) detected by a pressure sensor (25), and configured to mitigate the restriction of the operation under a condition that drop of the sucked air temperature (T1) is predicted; and an upper limit setter (47) configured to set an upper limit (Lp) of a delivered air pressure (P2) of the air compressor (7) so that a temperature (T2) of air delivered by the air compressor (7) is kept from exceeding its upper limit (Lt), based on the sucked air temperature (T1) detected by the temperature sensor (27) and the atmospheric pressure (P0) detected by the pressure sensor (25).
