To provide a flow control valve reducing flow charge by fluid force.

A spool 2 for compensating the pressure is fitted to a body 1 having an input port 1c provided with an orifice 8 and an output port 1d provided with an orifice 9, and a spring 3 is elastically kept into contact with the spool 2 and a plug 4 for the flow determination. A bypass channel 10 for communicating the input port 1c and the output port 1d is formed on an outer peripheral part of the body 1. Thereby, the reduced flow by the fluid force can be compensated by the flow in the bypass channel 10.
