Abstract: Provided is a water faucet capable of ensuring a required strength even when an exterior of the water faucet is formed with a cross-sectional shape having a longer direction and a shorter direction in a cross-section. The water faucet (1) comprises: an exterior member (4) having a longer direction (L1) in a cross-section and a shorter direction (W1) in the cross-section, and forming an exterior of the water faucet (1); a discharging port (34) for discharging water therefrom; a water-conducting member (8) for providing fluid communication between the discharging port (34) and a water supply source for supplying water to the discharging port (34); and a reinforcement member (10) provided inside the exterior member (4) so as to reinforce the exterior member (4).
