An exhaust emission control filter is provided that can reduce the pressure loss and has a high exhaust conversion performance and particulate matter capturing performance. An exhaust emission control filter includes: a filter base material having a wall flow structure; and an exhaust conversion catalyst carried on partitions of the filter base material. The median gas pore diameter (D50) of the filter base material after the exhaust conversion catalyst is carried on the filter base material is 17 μm or more. The half width of the gas pore distribution of the filter base material ranges from 7 to 15 μm. The exhaust conversion catalyst is ununiformly carried in a high-density layer having a relatively high density of the exhaust conversion catalyst and a low-density layer having a relatively low density of the exhaust conversion catalyst. The maximum gas pore diameter of the high-density layer is 11.7 μm or less.
