The present disclosure relates to a humidifier. A humidifier according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: an outer case with an intake opening; a discharge opening that opens to the outside of the outer case; an inner case spaced inward from the outer case; a fan disposed inside the outer case; a humidification assembly disposed inside the inner case and positioned downstream from the fan, that includes a humidification device internally having a space; a air flow path formed between the outer case and the inner case, that extends toward the discharge opening; and an inlet that branches off from the air flow path and allows a space between the outer case and the inner case and the internal space of the humidification device to communicate with each other. Thus, part of blown air can be admitted into the humidification device and then sprayed.
