A waterproof switch includes a switch mechanism having an operation portion, a plurality of leads, each lead having an essentially circular outer periphery, connected to said switch mechanism and a waterproof housing having an external shape which substantially corresponds to that of the switch. The waterproof housing is formed of deformable material and formed into a deformable shape and includes a first portion having an external shape which substantially corresponds to that of the operation portion of the switch, a first housing member including a portion provided with a groove having a section which substantially corresponds to a semicircle of the circular outer periphery of the leads connected to a terminal of the switch, and a second housing member including a portion provided with a groove having a section which substantially corresponds to a remaining semicircle of the essentially circular outer periphery of the leads, whereby both the housing members are fixedly joined while the leads are held between the first and second housing members. The waterproof switch further includes a holding member of unique construction and arrangement which prevents the operation portion from moving by resilience of the housing.
