An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable top sheet; a liquid-impermeable back sheet; and an absorbent provided between the top sheet and the back sheet, the absorbent article having a longitudinal direction and a widthwise direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The absorbent article includes a center compressed groove extending along the longitudinal direction in a center region in the widthwise direction, and a pair of oblique compressed grooves that are each connected to one end of the center compressed groove in the longitudinal direction and are extended such that a distance between the pair of oblique compressed grooves increases outward in the longitudinal direction. A length of the oblique compressed grooves in the longitudinal direction is 30% or more a length of the center compressed groove in the longitudinal direction.
