A needle type gauge (1) includes: a needle (3) that includes a main rotating portion (30) that rotates around a rotation shaft (3a), and an indicator (3b) which rotates along with the main rotating portion and points out an index part (20); and an actuator (7) which makes the main rotating portion to rotate. The main rotating portion includes a light emitting portion that receives light from a light source (6) and emits strip-shaped light to the front side of the indicator (3b). The light emitting portion is located at the actuator side relative to the indicator, and emits the strip-shaped light to a nearby area to the indicator and located, relative the indicator, at one side in a rotation direction of the indicator when the needle type gauge is observed from the front side. The needle includes a shield (8) which extends in a direction of the actuator from the indicator and extends along the indicator when the needle type gauge is observed from the front side, and blocks, among the strip-shaped light, light directed from the one side in the rotation direction of the indicator to the other side therein.
