A plasma type ignition plug for igniting an internal combustion engine is disclosed having a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a discharging distance fixing member, which includes an electrically conductive material replenishing section, made of an electrically conductive material available to melt when subjected to a heat of gas in plasma state, and an electrically conductive material replenished section to which the electrically conductive material is replenished. The discharging distance fixing member is covered on a surface of the negative electrode for initiating the spark discharge between a surface of the discharging distance fixing member and the positive electrode so as to avoid a fluctuation in a spark discharge distance caused by a wear of the negative electrode due to a collision of gas in the plasma state.
