A fuel cell includes a plurality of unit cells, each having a membrane electrode assembly and a separator stacked with an intervening first sealing member and the unit cells being stacked on one another with an intervening second sealing member. The first sealing member is spread on and along a surface of the separator where at least a part of the first sealing member overlaps with the second sealing member in a direction in which the unit cells are stacked, and the thickness of the first sealing member is smaller in a region where it overlaps with the second sealing member than in a region where it does not overlap with the second sealing member.
