A high-pressure pump includes a pump body, a cylinder, a plunger, and a plug. The pump body has a fuel chamber therein into which fuel is supplied. The cylinder is disposed inside the pump body and having one end immediately adjacent to the fuel chamber. The cylinder has an inner threaded portion formed on an inner wall of the cylinder at the one end. The plunger is disposed inside the cylinder and is reciprocally movable in an axial direction to change a volume of a pressurizing chamber within which the fuel supplied from the fuel chamber is pressurized. The plug is screwed into the inner threaded portion of the cylinder from the fuel chamber in the axial direction and closing the one end of the cylinder. The plug has an end surface that faces an end surface of the plunger and defines the pressurizing chamber together with the end surface of the plunger. The end surface of the plug is parallel to the end surface of the plunger.
