To provide a field coil type rotary electric machine that allows the reduction in size and weight.
A rotor core 7 has a boss 71 and an even number of magnetic salient poles 72 protruding radially from outer peripheral surface of the boss 71, wherein all magnetic salient poles 72 are disposed at overlapping positions in axial direction. The field coil 9 is wound in meandering shape in such a manner that gaps between poles extending portions 92 that are provided to extend in gaps between poles that are present between the magnetic salient poles 72, 72 adjoining to each other in circumferential direction, and circumferential extending portions 91 provided to extend in circumferential direction along end surfaces of magnetic salient poles 72 are alternately strung.
