A front bearing (tapered roller bearing) includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of tapered rollers, a cage, and a lubricating oil holding member. The lubricating oil holding member includes: a cylindrical portion having an axial length from a large diameter-side outer ring end surface to an end portion of the cage and capable of resisting a pressing force for press-fitting the outer ring; a fitting hook that is connected to one end of the cylindrical portion, that projects in the axial direction from an abutment surface which is in surface contact with the large diameter-side outer ring end surface, and that is fitted in an engagement groove portion provided in an outer peripheral surface of the outer ring; and a projection that projects radially inward from an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion.
