A vehicular discharge lamp includes a pair of electrodes including sealed portions sealed in a pair of pinch seal portions of a light emitting tube, wherein each of the sealed portions is segmented into: a first intermediate region positioned in the middle of the electrode in an axial direction; two end regions configured as both end portions of the sealed portion in the axial direction; and two second intermediate regions positioned between the first intermediate region and the end regions, respectively, wherein concave or convex fabrication portions are formed in the second intermediate regions, and wherein a ratio of formation area of the fabrication portions to an area of an outer peripheral surface of the first intermediate region is set to be smaller than that of the formation area of the fabrication portions to an area of outer peripheral surfaces of the second intermediate regions.
