A catalyst layer for a fuel cell includes a catalyst-supporting carbon in which a catalyst is supported on carbon support powder of which particles have pores, a first electrolyte resin having an oxygen permeability of less than 2.2×10−14 mol/(m·s·Pa) under an environment at a temperature of 80° C. and a relative humidity of 30%, and a second electrolyte resin having an oxygen permeability of 2.2×10−14 mol/(m·s·Pa) or more under an environment at a temperature of 80° C. and a relative humidity of 30%. The content of the first electrolyte resin is an amount equal to or larger than a value X [g] obtained in the equation X=S×R/4436 with respect to 1 g of the carbon support. S denotes a surface area [m2] of the carbon support. R denotes a proportion of the area of the outermost surface of the carbon support with respect to the surface area of the carbon support.
