Provided is a copper paste for joining including copper particles, second particles including a metal element other than copper, and a dispersion medium, in which the copper particles include submicro copper particles having a volume-average particle diameter of 0.12 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less and micro copper particles having a volume-average particle diameter of 2 μm or more and 50 μm or less, a sum of a content of the submicro copper particles and a content of the micro copper particles is 80% by mass or more of a sum of masses of the copper particles and the second particles, the content of the submicro copper particles is 30% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less of a sum of a mass of the submicro copper particles and a mass of the micro copper particles, and a content of the second particles is 0.01% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less of the sum of the masses of the copper particles and the second particles.
