A fuel cell separator having a surface layer on one side or both sides thereof. The surface layer includes at least two layers, wherein the surface layer includes a low-elastic modulus layer (1) having a bending elastic modulus of 1.0.times.101-6.0.times.103 MPa, and a bending strain of 1% or more; and a high-elastic modulus layer (2) having a bending elastic modulus exceeding 6.0.times.103 MPa, as at least one layer constituting the surface layer, other than the low-elastic modulus layer (1).
