A centrifugal blower includes a centrifugal fan and a separation cylinder. The centrifugal fan has a separation plate. The separation cylinder is disposed inward of the blades in the radial direction of the centrifugal fan. The separation plate has an inner end surface extending from the one side to the other side in the axial direction at a position of an inner end in the radial direction. The separation cylinder has a separation cylinder end surface extending from the one side to the other side in the axial direction at a position of an end on the other side in the axial direction. A height of one of the separation cylinder end surface and the inner end surface in the axial direction is larger than a height of the other of the separation cylinder end surface and the inner end surface in the axial direction.
