A balloon catheter prevents detachment of a balloon from an inner shaft without using a conventional sleeve or heat-shrinkable tube. The balloon catheter includes a balloon, an inner shaft, and a tip having a proximal end portion that covers an outer periphery of a distal end of the balloon. The distal end of the balloon is sandwiched between the inner shaft and the proximal end portion of the tip, thereby joining the distal end of the balloon to the inner shaft and the tip.
