Summary:A fuel cell is reduced in size and weight while the respective communication passages are reliably sealed by the respective sealing members between separators and an electrode assembly. Separators of a fuel cell is provided with communication holes for a reaction gas and cooling medium provided in the outer side of gas sealing members, and with a communication passage that detours around the gas sealing members in the thickness direction of the separators and connects gas communication passages with the reaction gas communication hole. A cooling surface sealing member that seals off the cooling medium communication passage from the reaction gas communication hole is located at a position that is shifted from the communicating passage towards the communication hole side.
