The present disclosure provides the exhaust gas purification catalyst capable of efficiently converting HC in the upstream region relative to the exhaust gas flow direction in the exhaust gas purification catalyst and capable of efficiently converting NOx in the downstream region relative to the exhaust gas flow direction in the exhaust gas purification catalyst while maintaining the good warming-up performance. The present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas purification catalyst including a monolith substrate formed by a catalyst carrier and a catalyst coat layer coated on the monolith substrate, in which the monolith substrate contains Pd, the catalyst coat layer includes a downstream coat layer, the downstream coat layer contains Rh, a density of the downstream coat layer is in a specific range, the exhaust gas purification catalyst has an upstream region (upstream portion) relative to an exhaust gas flow direction and a downstream region (downstream portion) excluding the upstream region and the upstream portion has a Pd concentration higher than a Pd concentration in the downstream portion.
