PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively prevent injection of fuel from an injection hole from being influenced by a slide guide in a fuel injection valve having the slide guide guiding forward/backward movement of a valve element for opening/closing a valve.
SOLUTION: The fuel injection valve is constructed so that fuel flowing down as a valve element side face flow F along the side face of the valve element 15 passes through a fuel passage 20, which is opened/closed by forward/backward movement of the valve element, toward an injection hole plate 19 to be sprayed from the injection hole 35. The valve element is moved forward/backward by sliding against a valve element surrounding part 17, and the sliding of the valve element is carried out via a guide part 18 formed by aligning a plurality of slide guides 41 between the valve element and the valve element surrounding part. In this fuel injection valve, when the slide guide is formed into a shape tapering off gradually from the valve element side to the valve element surrounding part, a deviated flow rate distribution PD biased to the valve element surrounding part is generated in the valve element side face flow having passed through the guide part.
