A spot welding method joins metal sheets by: clamping a stacked section of two or more stacked metal sheets with a pair of electrodes at a load of 100 N or more; applying pressure around the electrodes at a load, which is 5-1000% of the load due to the pair of electrodes, using a pressurizing member, which applies pressure on the stacked section in regions that are 20% or more of the total outer circumference of the electrode tips and for which the continuous regions of the entire outer circumference of the electrode tips that are not pressed are 30% or less (including 0%) of the entire outer circumference of the electrode tips; and passing welding current from the electrodes to the stacked section.
