The present invention provides a hydrogen generator capable of estimating the remaining amount of hydrogen without adding a detection means, which leads to an increase in the cost, and a fuel cell system including the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generator includes the following: a hydrogen generating portion (3) that holds a hydrogen generating material (4) that reacts with water (2) to generate hydrogen; a water supply means (5) that supplies the water (2) to the hydrogen generating portion (3); a water supply control means (11) that controls the water supply means (5) so as to adjust the amount of the water (2) to be supplied to the hydrogen generating portion (3); and a remaining amount management means (13) that estimates a remaining amount of hydrogen that can be generated in the hydrogen generating portion (3) from water quantity information of the water (2) supplied to the hydrogen generating portion (3), the water quantity information being obtained from the water supply means (5) or the water supply control means (11).
