To provide a pulverized coal burner wherein pulverized coal is prevented from accumulating on the upper surface of a burner inner cylinder in the vicinity of a pulverized coal introducing port without increasing the flow velocity of a primary air carrying the pulverized coal, the burning of the pulverized coal burner by the ignition of the pulverized coal is avoided, and the reduction in the thickness of the burner inner cylinder and a burner outer cylinder due to wear caused by the pulverized coal is also prevented.

A rotating cylinder 24 for preventing the accumulation of the pulverized coal is rotatably set on the outer peripheral surface of the burner inner cylinder 4 in the vicinity of the pulverized coal introducing port 5.
