There is provided a contact probe that is smaller than 50 .mu.m in a pitch between a signal electrode and a ground electrode and can correctly conduct a high-speed high-frequency measurement, a measuring pad used for the contact probe, and a method of manufacturing the contact probe. The contact probe includes: a tip member having a signal electrode 10a and a ground electrode 11a that are put into contact with an object to be measured; and a coaxial cable 1 having a core 1b electrically connected to the signal electrode 10a and an outer covering conductor 1a electrically connected to the ground electrode 1a, wherein the tip member is formed on a printed wiring board 2, and wherein the signal electrode 10a and the ground electrode 11a are constructed of fine coplanar strip lines formed on an insulating board 2a.
