A turbocharger includes a turbine housing accommodating a turbine wheel, and a waste gate valve connected to the turbine housing. A valve seat for the waste gate valve is provided at an opening edge of a bypass passage on an inner wall surface of the turbine housing. The waste gate valve includes a shaft rotatably supported by a wall, and a valve element extending in a radial direction of the shaft from an end portion of the shaft on an inner side of the turbine housing. A contact surface of the valve seat and a contact surface of the valve element are a flat surface. The waste gate valve is a one-piece molding including the shaft and the valve element.
