In an injection hole of a nozzle, a maximum value of a longitudinal length of an inlet, which is measured in a direction of an inlet longitudinal axis of the inlet, is larger than a maximum value of a longitudinal length of an outlet, which is measured in a direction of an outlet longitudinal axis of the outlet. A rear end edge of an opening edge of the inlet is shaped into an arc. When the maximum value of the inlet is made larger than the maximum value of the outlet, an upstream end of the inlet can be placed at a further upstream side, so that a turn angle of a fuel flow can be reduced to increase the flow coefficient. Furthermore, when the rear end edge is shaped into the arc, the maximum value of the inlet can be increased.
