An internal combustion engine is equipped with a supercharger which includes an intake port, an intake passage communicated with the intake port and a compressor interposed in the intake passage and compressing the intake air flowing through the intake passage. A unidirectional valve such as a reed valve is disposed inside the intake passage in series with the compressor in order to prevent backflow of the supercharged air inside the intake passage and thus to prevent a drop in the engine output when a throttle valve inside the intake passage is abruptly closed.
