    Abstract: The present invention provides a gas diffusion electrode which is capable of restraining the progression of carbon corrosion at an anode gas diffusion electrode of a fuel cell even in a reverse potential state that is caused by deficiency of a fuel supplied to the anode gas diffusion electrode, and which is therefore free from a decrease in the power generation performance of the cell. This gas diffusion electrode includes a conductive porous base material that contains carbon fibers as a constituent material, and a microporous layer that is in contact with one surface of the conductive porous base material; and this gas diffusion electrode is characterized in that the microporous layer contains, as constituent materials, carbon fine particles and a fluororesin that has a fluoroalkyl chain, and if A (m2/g) is the specific surface area of the carbon fine particles, B (g/cm3) is the content of the carbon fine particles per unit volume in the microporous layer, and C (g/cm3) is the content of the fluororesin that has a fluoroalkyl chain per unit volume in the microporous layer, the value obtained by the formula X described below is 10 to 50. (Formula X): A−30×(C/B).
