Provided is an absorbent article which has the properties of an absorbent article with a relief-structured surface sheet and which is also capable of minimizing ruptures of a core wrap sheet. This absorbent article includes: a surface sheet (2), a rear sheet, an absorber core (403), and a core wrap sheet (401). The surface sheet has a plurality of fused portions (21) extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of protruding portions (11) formed between adjacent fused portions and protruding toward the skin side and the non-skin side. A thin line-like adhesive (9) that connects the surface sheet to the core wrap sheet forms a predetermined pattern. The predetermined pattern comprises a transverse portion that extends in a width direction and connects the fused portions to the protruding portions and a vertical portion that extends along the longitudinal direction. Multiple predetermined patterns are arranged along the longitudinal direction to form a predetermined pattern column. Multiple predetermined pattern columns are arranged parallel to each other in the width direction. With respect to each protruding portion overlapping the predetermined pattern column, the minimum value of the distance between adjacent transverse portions in the longitudinal direction is less than the combined width direction distance of a protruding portion and fused portion.
