A fluorine-containing ether compound represented by Formula (1) is provided, R1—R2—CH2—R3—CH2—R4  (1) (In Formula (1), R1 is an alkyl group that may have a substituent, R2 is a divalent linking group bonded to R1 via an ethereal oxygen, R3 is a perfluoropolyether chain, and R4 is an end group which is different from R1-R2 and includes two or three polar groups, in which each of the polar groups is bonded to a different carbon atom, and the carbon atoms bonded to the polar groups are bonded to each other via a linking group containing a carbon atom not bonded to the polar groups.).
