Provided is a friction material composition, comprising a binder, fibrous base materials, an abrasive material, an inorganic filler, and an organic filler. The composition further contains a specific amount of zinc. The fibrous base materials include a specific amount of at least one fibrous base material selected from cellulose fibers and fire-resistant fibers and a specific amount of iron-based fibers as another fibrous base material. The composition contains 1 wt.% or less inorganic abrasive material having a Mohs hardness of 8 or higher and a particle diameter of 1 [mu]m or larger as the abrasive material. This friction material composition gives a brake pad for passenger cars which less attacks mating materials than conventional products, has a high coefficient of friction during braking when repeatedly used for braking in high-speed traveling, and can be inhibited from wearing or unevenly wearing. Also provided are a friction material and a friction member both obtained from the composition.
