There are provide a silicate-based phosphor excellent in emission intensity and a manufacturing method of the same. A manufacturing method of a silicate-based phosphor is characterized by: introducing in a vessel raw material powders having a compound containing light-emitting ions selected from at least one of Eu, Ce, Mn, and Tb; and firing the raw material powders while supplying SiOx (0.5≦x≦1.9, preferably, 0.8≦x≦1.2) in a gas phase. The raw material powders preferably further contains at least one of an alkali metal compound, an alkaline-earth metal compound, a magnesium compound, and a rare-earth compound. The silicate-based phosphor is preferably M2SiO4:Eu2+ (wherein M is one or more selected from a group consisting of Ca, Sr and Ba). The firing is preferably performed by supplying the SiOx to the raw material powders in a gas atmosphere at a temperature of 1200 to 1700° C. and subjecting the raw material powders to a gas-solid phase reaction at a temperature of 700 to 1700° C.
