A fuel injection controller includes a current-increase control portion applying a voltage to the coil so that the coil current is increased to a first target value, and a current-hold control portion applying the voltage to the coil so that the increased coil current is held at the first target value. A maximum electromagnetic attracting force to start a valve opening is referred to as a required valve-opening force. A saturated electromagnetic attracting force by the coil current of the first target value is referred to as a static attracting force. The first target value is established in such a manner that the static attracting force is greater than the required valve opening force.
