An electronic pen includes a tubular casing; a vibration transmitting member disposed within a hollow portion of the tubular casing and capable of transmitting vibration occurring in the vibration transmitting member to the tubular casing; a vibrator disposed on the vibration transmitting member; a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse signal which drives the vibrator; and a power supply circuit to power the pulse generator. The vibrator includes a plurality of electrode pins planted on the vibration transmitting member, and one or more wires formed of a shape memory alloy and extending between two electrode pins among the plurality of electrode pins. The one or more wires when supplied with the pulse signal from the pulse generator through the electrode pins expand and contract to thereby vibrate. Vibration of the one or more wires is transmitted to the tubular casing via the electrode pins and the vibration transmitting member.
