Claim:
1. A fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, comprising a cylindrical nozzle body which has a tip portion formed to have a conical shape, an injection hole which penetrates from an inner circumferential surface to an outer circumferential surface of the nozzle body, and a valve plug which is accommodated slidably in the nozzle body and which opens/closes the injection hole, wherein: the injection hole is constructed so that a small diameter portion, which is positioned on a side of the inner circumferential surface of the nozzle body, is communicated with a large diameter portion which is positioned on a side of the outer circumferential surface of the nozzle body and which has a hole diameter larger than that of the small diameter portion, with a stepped portion intervening therebetween; a ratio of the hole diameter of the large diameter portion with respect to the hole diameter of the small diameter portion is not less than 3.1 and not more than 4.0; a ratio of a length of the large diameter portion with respect to a length of the small diameter portion is not less than 0.25 and not more than 0.55; and a ratio of the length of the large diameter portion with respect to the hole diameter of the large diameter portion is not less than 0.4 and not more than 1.6.
