An ignition coil includes a coil body transversely arranged outside of a
plug hole, and a plug connection portion protruding in a direction
perpendicular to an axial direction of the coil body. A secondary coil of
the coil body has a maximum outer diameter portion, and an inclined outer
diameter portion arranged on two sides of the maximum outer diameter
portion in the axial direction. The secondary coil includes a secondary
electric wire that is wound obliquely around an outer periphery of a
secondary spool such that reduced winding parts and enlarged winding
parts are alternately superimposed on each other. The reduced winding
part is wound with a winding diameter decreasing obliquely from one side
to the other side in the axial direction, and the enlarged winding part
is wound with a winding diameter increasing obliquely from the other side
to the one side in the axial direction.
