Problem:Provided is a flush toilet capable of increasing the volume of a waste conveyance flow, thereby improving a waste conveyance capability.Solution:The flush toilet includes: a toilet main unit (2) comprising a discharge conduit (16) communicated with the discharge trap pipe. The discharge conduit includes a flow dividing section (26) provided on a downstream side of an upstream discharge conduit section, and a delaying flow passage (28) branched from the flow dividing section. An inward region of the skirt portion includes: a central region (D) and a lateral region (E). The delaying flow passage (28) forms a passage in the lateral region (E) and merges leading flush water having flowed into the delaying flow passage from the flow dividing section (26) with a flush water flow reaching the flow dividing section at a timing after the inflow of the flush water to the delaying flow passage.
