A fuel injection valve for the cylinder injection 100 comprising: a valve assembly 3 which injects fuel; a solenoid assembly 26 which opens and closes the valve assembly 3; a housing 102 which accommodates the valve assembly 3 and the solenoid assembly 26; and a core 33 which also functions as a fuel pipe which connects The valve assembly 3 to a delivery pipe 4. The core 33 comprises: a delivery-pipe-side pressure-receiving portion 150 which is disposed within the delivery pipe 4 and is subjected to fuel pressure from within the delivery pipe 4; a housing-side pressure-receiving portion 140 which is connected to the valve assembly 3 within the housing 102 and is subjected to fuel pressure from within the housing 102; and a fastening portion 33d disposed between these two pressurized portions to fasten the core 33 to the housing 102. The pressure-receiving surface area SB of the delivery-pipe-side pressure-receiving portion 150 is greater than the pressure-receiving surface area SA of the housing-side pressure-receiving portion 140.
