A female terminal fitting (1) includes a tubular portion (14) to receive a rod-like mating terminal (30). Three contact points are on an inner surface of the tubular portion and achieve point contact with an outer surface of the mating terminal (30). One or more resilient contact pieces (18) resiliently contact the mating terminal (30). The contact points (15) are disposed side by side in an outer circumferential direction of the mating terminal (30) when viewed along a center axis (31) of the mating terminal (30). The contact point in the middle is shifted along the center axis (31) with respect to the contact points on both sides in the outer circumferential direction. The resilient contact pieces (18) resiliently contact the mating terminal (30) between the contact points on both sides and the contact point in the middle in the direction of the center axis (31).
