Provided is an absorbent article easy to wear when putting on and easy to wipe the wearer's skin when removing. An absorbent article (10) includes a front-rear direction (L), a width direction (W) orthogonal to the front-rear direction, a front waistline region (20), a rear waistline region (30), a crotch region (S3) arranged between the front waistline region and the rear waistline region, a side engaging portion (60) engaging the front waistline region and the rear waistline region, and an absorbent core (51) provided at least in the crotch region. A folding line (FL) for folding the absorbent article in half extends along the width direction in the crotch region. A first distance (L1) from a front end edge of the absorbent core to a front end edge of the front waistline region is longer than a second distance (L2) from a rear end edge of the absorbent core to a rear end edge of the rear waistline region. A difference (L3) between a distance from the folding line to a rear end edge of the absorbent core and a distance from the folding line to a front end edge of the absorbent core is longer than a length (T4) in the front-rear direction of a region of the front waistline region overlapping the absorbent core.
