To provide an electric lock by which locking/unlocking using an electric drive system can be conducted smoothly and the number of switches for controlling the electric drive part can be reduced.

The electric lock comprises a casing 2, a latch member 6, a manual operation part 41, a first rotor 55 which is provided with a first projection 552, connected to the manual operation part 41 and is mounted to be rotatable between a first position and a second position, a second rotor 56 which is provided with a second projection 565 and is mounted so that it may move the first rotor 55 from the first position to the second position by rotating in the first rotational direction to push the first projection 552 with the second projection 565, and may return the first rotor 55 from the second position to the first position by rotating in the direction opposite to the first rotational direction to push the first projection 552 with the second projection 565, and the electric drive part 8 mounted to drive the rotational movement of the second rotor 56.
