A fluid pressure cylinder is equipped with a piston rod connected coaxially with a piston and which slides linearly in the interior of a body. A cutout recess having a predetermined length along an axial direction of the piston rod is formed on a side surface of the piston rod. A planar bearing is provided, which projects toward the cutout recess from an inner surface of the body, and includes a distal end surface that abuts on the same plane with a bottom surface of the cutout recess.
