Abstract: A sensor element includes an element body including an oxygen-ion-conductive solid electrolyte layer, the element body having a longitudinal direction, a measurement electrode disposed in the element body, a reference electrode disposed in the element body so as to come into contact with a reference gas, and a heater configured to heat the solid electrolyte layer. A center of gravity of the reference electrode overlaps the measurement electrode as viewed in a thickness direction of the solid electrolyte layer. A length of each of the reference electrode and the measurement electrode in a front-rear direction is less than or equal to 1.1 mm, the front-rear direction being a direction along the longitudinal direction of the element body. An area of the reference electrode as viewed in the thickness direction is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm2.
