A silicone rubber composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of an organopolysiloxane having a degree of polymerization of 100 or higher and having at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups in the molecule; (B) from 3 to 100 parts by weight of a wet silica having the following properties: specific surface area (the BET method) of 50 m2/g or larger, specific surface area (the BET method)/specific surface area (the CTAB method) of from 1.0 to 1.3, and water content of 4% or lower; and (C) an effective amount of a curing agent. The silicone rubber composition can be obtained without foaming even in hot air vulcanization and even if wet silica is used therein, and the silicone rubber composition gives a silicone rubber excellent in electrical properties such as electrical insulating properties.
