Abstract: A load sensor includes: a first base member and a second base member disposed so as to face each other; an electrically-conductive elastic body disposed on an opposing face of the first base member; an electrically-conductive member having a linear shape and disposed between the second base member and the electrically-conductive elastic body; and a dielectric body disposed between the electrically-conductive elastic body and the electrically-conductive member. The electrically-conductive member has a bent shape that is bent in a direction toward the electrically-conductive elastic body.
