There is provided a magnetic force sensor including: an action unit elastically supported by a supporting member; a magnetic-flux generating source including two or more magnets which are disposed so that a polarity of each of the magnetic-pole faces of the magnets is opposite to a polarity of a corresponding one of the magnetic-pole faces of the adjacent magnets in a particular direction; first magnetoelectric transducers that are individually provided at positions, the positions being positions at which the first magnetoelectric transducers oppose the magnetic-pole faces of the magnets in the action unit; and a second magnetoelectric transducer provided between the first magnetoelectric transducers. Vertical-direction components of a force are detected on the basis of outputs of the first magnetoelectric transducers, and a horizontal-direction component of the force is detected on the basis of an output of the second magnetoelectric transducer.
