There are provided a metal material for electrode formation, which can form an electrode provided in an organic function element without adopting vapor deposition, can easily realize an increase in size, can reduce production cost, and does not cause any disconnection of the electrode upon exposure to flexure and, thus, is highly reliable, and, at the same time, has a high level of electron injection function, and an organic function element using the metal material. The metal material is a Ga(gallium)-base alloy which is in a paste state at a temperature of the melting point of the Ga-base alloy or above, the Ga-base alloy comprising at least a Ga-base liquid metal in a liquid state at room temperature and an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal and having an electron injection function.
