Glow plug

A glow plug comprising:

• a heater portion having a rod shape extending from a front side toward a rear side in an axial direction, the heater portion configured to generate heat by being energized;
• a center wire having electrical conductivity, extending from the heater portion toward the rear side, and being connected to the heater portion so as to be electrically conductive therewith;
• a feed terminal having electrical conductivity, being positioned on the rear side relative to the center wire, and configured to be supplied with electric power for the heater portion;
• a spring member having electrical conductivity and configured to elastically deform such that the heater portion and the center wire are movable along the axial direction relative to the feed terminal, the spring member connecting the center wire and the feed terminal such that the center wire and the feed terminal are electrically conductive with each other;
• a wall surface defining a region for accommodating the spring member from the front side toward the rear side;
• and
• an elastic portion having electrical insulation property and lower elasticity than that of the spring member, the elastic portion covering at least a part of the spring member while being in contact with the wall surface.
