The present invention provides a prepreg comprising: a primary pre-pregnant made of a reinforced fiber substrate and an epoxy resin composition containing at least epoxy resin and thermoplastic resin impregnated into the reinforcing fiber that forms the reinforced fiber substrate; and a surface layer made of epoxy resin composition containing at least an epoxy resin and an epoxy resin-soluble thermoplastic resin that dissolves in the epoxy resin, the surface layer being formed on one or both surfaces of the primary prepreg; the prepreg being characterized in that only one of either the epoxy resin composition of the primary prepreg or the epoxy resin composition of the surface layer contains a hardening agent for an epoxy resin.
