An electromagnetic pump including a suction check valve including a tubular portion and a flange portion that extends in a radial direction from an end edge of the tubular portion, the suction check valve being formed with a through hole that penetrates the tubular portion and the flange portion to form a suction port in an end surface of the flange portion. A strainer attached to the suction port and having a pore forming region which is larger than an inside diameter of the through hole at the tubular portion and in which a large number of pores are formed. The suction check valve is formed with a diameter reducing portion formed such that the inside diameter of the through hole is reduced from the flange portion toward the tubular portion with a degree of diameter reduction varied from a large value to a small value.
