The present invention provides a bio-electrode composition including: (A) an ionic material; and (B) a resin other than the component (A); wherein the component (A) contains both of a repeating unit-a having a structure of any of silver salts of fluorosulfonic acid, fluorosulfonimide, and fluorosulfonamide; and a repeating unit-b having silicon. This can form a living body contact layer for a bio-electrode that is excellent in electric conductivity and biocompatibility, light in weight, manufacturable at low cost, and free from large lowering of the electric conductivity even when it is wetted with water or dried. The present invention also provides a bio-electrode in which the living body contact layer is formed from the bio-electrode composition, and a method for manufacturing the bio-electrode.本發明之目的為提供可形成導電性及生物相容性優異,輕量,且能以低成本製造,無論被水沾濕或予以乾燥,導電性也不會大幅降低的生物體電極用之生物體接觸層的生物體電極組成物、使用了該生物體電極組成物而形成有生物體接觸層的生物體電極、及其製造方法。一種生物體電極組成物,含有(A)離子性材料、及(B)該(A)成分以外之樹脂,其特徵為:該(A)成分具有重複單元a及重複單元b兩者,該重複單元a具有氟磺酸、氟磺醯亞胺、及氟磺醯胺當中的任一者之銀鹽之結構,該重複單元b含有矽。
