Provided is a fuel cell system that can reduce an amount of air supplied to a cell stack while maintaining a power generation performance of the cell stack.The fuel cell system causes a fuel cell to start electric power generation by supplying hydrogen to an anode electrode and air to a cathode electrode. In the fuel cell system, if a temperature of a heating medium is lower than a threshold (S43:NO) while the fuel cell generates electric power, the air at a first supply amount is supplied to the cathode electrode (S41). In the fuel cell system, if the temperature of the heating medium is greater than or equal to than a threshold (S43:YES) while the fuel cell generates electric power, the air supplied to the cathode electrode is gradually reduced to a second supply amount that is less than the first supply amount (S45). In the fuel cell system, in response to the air supply amount to the cathode electrode having reached the second supply amount, the air at the second supply amount is continuously supplied to the cathode electrode (S49).
