Provided is an ion wind generator capable of diversifying either or both of the amount of wind or wind direction. An ion wind generator is provided with a first electrode, a second electrode having a downstream area which is arranged at a position in a plan view shifted from first electrode towards the positive side in the x direction, and a dielectric between the first electrode and the second electrode. In a plane view, the distance (d) in the x-direction from a downstream side edge of the first electrode to the downstream side edge of the downstream area differs in the y-direction which is perpendicular to the x-direction.
