To provide an electroacoustic transducer capable of obtaining sufficient sound pressure, even when it is made compact/thin.

An electroacoustic transducer includes a diaphragm 3, having a periphery as a fixed end, a coil 4 having an axis perpendicular to the diaphragm 3 and attached centrally to the diaphragm 3, and a direct current magnetic field generator fixed in position as spaced apart from the coil 4 by a gap provided axially of the coil 4. The diaphragm 3 is driven by applying to the coil 4 a magnetic flux, emitted from a surface of the direct current magnetic field generator that faces the coil 4. The direct current magnetic field generator includes a ring-shaped outer magnet 5, located coaxially with the axis of the coil 4 and magnetized in a direction parallel to the axis, and an inner core 6 including a ferromagnet and located in the center hole of the outer magnet 5.
