Provided are an electrode for fuel cell including a support with improved durability and capable of suppressing poisoning of catalyst particles by ionomer, and a method for manufacturing the same. The method at least includes: performing heat treatment of a support made of mesoporous carbon having a crystallite diameter Lc at 002 plane that is 1.5 nm or less, at 1,700° C. or more and less than 2,300° C.; supporting catalyst particles at least inside of the support subjected to the heat treatment; and applying ionomer to the support supporting the catalyst particles for coating.
