This invention discloses an infrared thermometer for magnetic induction identification probe cap, including the body of infrared thermometer, at the upper end of which is a temperature probe designed with a cap, of which the inner side wall is beset with a magnet block； in the infrared thermometer body at lower end of temperature probe is a magnetic induction element connected with the main control unit of infrared thermometer body； when the cap covers the temperature probe or is removed there-from, the magnetic induction between magnet block and magnetic induction element enables magnetic induction output control signal. The main control unit of infrared thermometer body turns on the magnetic induction identification output control； for the infrared thermometer applicable for both forehead temperature measurement and ear canal temperature measurement, the magnetic induction identification cap switches between the forehead temperature measurement and ear canal temperature measurement modes.
