Abstract

Provided is a glass fiber for resin reinforcement that has excellent processability, and enables a fiber-reinforced resin molded article having excellent mechanical properties to be obtained. The glass fiber for resin reinforcement comprises a glass fiber, and organic matter adhered to the surface of the glass fiber, wherein the amount of nitrogen N of the organic matter is 0.010 to 0.600% by mass based on the total amount of the glass fiber for resin reinforcement, the amount of carbon C of the organic matter is 0.120 to 1.500% by mass based on the total amount of the glass fiber for resin reinforcement, the ignition loss L of the glass fiber for resin reinforcement is 0.200 to 2.000% by mass, and the N, C, and L satisfy the following formula (1): 0.220≤(N×C) 1/2 /L≤0.405 . . . (1).
