A compressor includes a housing having a discharge chamber into which compressed refrigerant gas is discharged, an oil separation chamber, a passage connecting between the discharge chamber and the oil separation chamber, and an outlet port through which the refrigerant gas passed through the oil separation chamber flows out of the housing; and a cylindrical oil separator provided in the oil separation chamber. The oil separator includes a large-diameter portion, a small-diameter portion, and an intermediate portion formed between the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion and tapered toward the small-diameter portion. Plural holes are formed in the periphery of the small-diameter portion of the oil separator. The passage is directed toward the small-diameter portion of the oil separator in such a manner that the refrigerant gas swirls around the small-diameter portion, so that the refrigerant gas from which lubricating oil is separated enters the oil separator through the hole.
