Provided is an electronic pen including a rod-shaped core body having conductivity, a pen pressure transmitter which is connected to the core body and has conductivity and which, in operation, transmits a pen pressure applied to the core body to a pen pressure detector, and a signal transmitter which, in operation, generates a signal to be transmitted from the core body, in which the pen pressure transmitter includes a shock-absorbing mechanism which, in operation, when the pen pressure applied to the core body has a predetermined value or more, absorbs the pen pressure, and the signal from the signal transmitter, in operation, is supplied to the core body through the pen pressure transmitter and transmitted to an outside of the electronic pen through the core body.
