1. A shield connector comprising:
a cylindrical housing that accommodates a terminal and holds the terminal;
an annular seal member that seals between an outer peripheral surface of an electric wire connected to the terminal and an inner wall surface of the housing;
a holder coupled to the housing along an axial direction of the housing to support the seal member; and
a conductive shell that accommodates and holds the housing and the holder coupled to each other in the conductive shell, wherein
an outer wall portion of the housing has a protruding portion protruding outward,
the holder has an engagement piece extending along the axial direction and is coupled to the housing by engaging the engagement piece with the protruding portion from an outside, the engagement piece overlaps the protruding portion in a first direction by an overlap width, the first direction intersects the axial direction, and
the shell has a facing surface facing the engagement piece from an outside, the facing surface is spaced away from the engagement piece by a first gap that is less than or equal to the overlap width such that the shell regulates outward deformation of the engagement piece by the facing surface.
