To improve water repellency of a fuel cell electrode for improving the performance of a fuel cell electrode.

In this fuel cell electrode, having a catalyst layer containing a solid polymer electrolyte 42 and catalyst particles 41, a surface and portions corresponding to micro-pores 43 of the catalyst layer have a porous resin. For example, after the solution of a resin in a solvent (a) is stored in the catalyst layer which contains the solid polymer electrolyte 42 and the catalyst particles 41, the catalyst layer is immersed in a solvent (b) which is insoluble in the resin but soluble in the solvent (a) to form the fuel cell electrode.
