Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spark plug capable of suppressing electrode consumption caused by a spark discharge and a method of manufacturing the same. A section except a welded section formed by welding a tip surface of a center electrode is defined as an unwelded section in side surfaces of a center chip, and a length of the unwelded section along a center axis of the center chip is defined as an unwelded section length. Under this definition, the welded section is formed in order for an unwelded section length in a side surface opposite to an inclination direction side of the center chip in the center chip to become longer than an unwelded section length in a side surface of the inclination direction side of the center chip in the center chip.
