An injector head of a liquid rocket engine in which a mixture of oxidizer and fuel is supplied to a combustion chamber, including an injection plate having through-holes, a partition plate mounted above the injection plate so as to define a space between itself and the injection plate, a fuel injector which injects the fuel supplied from a fuel manifold into the combustion chamber, with an upper portion thereof engaged with a lower surface of the partition plate and a lower portion thereof inserted into the through-holes of the injection plate, and an oxidizer injector engaged with an upper surface of the partition plate so as to inject the oxidizer supplied from an oxidizer manifold, wherein the partition plate is provided with an oxidizer supply hole through which the oxidizer injected from the oxidizer injector is delivered towards the fuel injected from the fuel injector.
