Provided is a resin composition including carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin, in which the carbon fibers have a tensile elastic modulus E of 350 to 500 GPa, and the tensile elastic modulus E (GPa) and a loop fracture load A (N) satisfy the relationship of A≥−0.0017×E+1.02. This resin composition not only has a high moldability into a member of a complex shape by injection molding, but also can yield a molded article having excellent flexural modulus and excellent impact characteristics.
