PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combination faucet, having a fine control function for the temperature of mixed water in a medium low temperature region and quick temperature rising performance of mixed water in a high temperature region, simple in structure, facilitating design, hardly causing failure and having excellent durability. SOLUTION: This combination faucet includes: a water port A and a hot water port B for individually introducing cold water and hot water; a valve element 9 for controlling the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water introduced from the water port A and the hot water port B; a temperature sensitive element 36 for driving the valve element 9; and a temperature control handle 3 for approaching and separating the valve element 9 toward the temperature sensitive element 36 through a bias spring 38. An auxiliary cylindrical elastic body 39 for energizing the valve element 9 toward the temperature sensitive element 36 when the distance between them is a preset value or smaller is disposed between a slide block 22 moved by the operation of the temperature control handle 3 and the valve element 9.
