It is an object of the exemplary embodiments to obtain a long electric-wire protection pipe having a flat outer shape, using a simple press working process, while preventing warping problems. An electric-wire protection pipe is a metal pipe that surrounds an electric wire, and has a reinforced section and a flat pipe section. The reinforced section is a section that is located at a part in the circumferential direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and constitutes a protrusion forming, on either the internal or external surface of the electric-wire protection pipe, a ridge line extending along the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and a groove extending along the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe on the other surface. The flat pipe section is a section that constitutes at least a part in the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and that is flattened by press working.
