A fuel injection device includes a cylinder that defines a pressure chamber at an end portion of a nozzle needle. A floating plate as a control member is placed in the cylinder. A cutout portion and multiple grooves are formed in the floating plate. The cutout portion and the grooves causes a gap between a large-diameter inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface to communicate with the pressure chamber. The cutout portion and the grooves reduce a contact surface portion between the cylinder and the floating plate and divide the contact surface portion into multiple island portions. As a result, it is possible to reduce the contact surface portion.
