A V-ribbed belt (1), which comprises an extension layer (3) that constitutes a belt back surface, a compression layer (4) that is formed on one surface of the extension layer (3), and core wires (5) that are embedded between the extension layer (3) and the compression layer (4) and extend along the circumferential length direction of the belt, and in which multiple V-shaped rib parts (2) that extend along the circumferential length direction of the belt and serve as a friction conveying surface with a pulley are formed in the compression layer (4) and the friction conveying surface is covered with a knitted fabric (6), wherein: the knitted fabric (6) is knitted of a polyester-based composite yarn and a cellulose-based natural spun yarn; the polyester-based composite yarn is a bulk textured yarn; and the knitting ratio of the cellulose-based natural spun yarn is not less than the knitting ratio of the polyester-based composite yarn.
