A synthetic resin container that effectively absorbs reduced pressure generated inside the container due to hot filling to maintain the appearance and shape. A synthetic resin container includes a mouth as a dispensing spout for a content medium, a trunk, extending contiguous to the mouth via a shoulder, and a bottom, closing a lower end of the trunk. The trunk is provided with reduced pressure absorbing panels, which are formed as ribs extending in the vertical direction while twisting in the circumferential direction about a central axis of the trunk and which are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction of the trunk. Twist angle of a lower end with respect to an upper end of each reduced pressure absorbing panel about the central axis is 50 degrees or more.
