A transonic blade is provided that operates in a flow field where flow has a transonic speed or higher in an axial-flow rotating machine and that concurrently achieves a reduction in shock loss and in the local stress of the blade. The transonic blade includes a hub cross-sectional surface joined to a rotating shaft or an outer circumferential side casing of a rotating machine; a tip cross-sectional surface located furthest from the hub cross-sectional surface in a spanwise direction which is a vertical direction of the rotating shaft; a leading edge located on an upstream side; and a trailing edge located on a downstream side. At least a part of a passing working fluid flow has a transonic speed or higher. A portion of a stacking line which is a line connecting together respective gravity centers of cross-sectional surfaces located from the hub cross-sectional surface to the tip cross-sectional surface is located on a downstream side of a stacking center in a flow direction of a working fluid main flow.
