[Problem]To provide a guide wire that is curved at a desired position when reaching an occluded lesion and is capable of suppressing occurrence of blood vessel perforation.[Means for Resolution]A guide wire 1 includes a long flexible wire main body 10, and a coil 4 that is formed by winding a plurality of wires 411, 421, and 431 in a spiral shape, and which is disposed at an outer periphery of a distal portion of the wire main body 10 to cover the distal portion. The coil 4 includes a coil distal portion 41 that is disposed on a distal side in the distal portion, a coil proximal portion 42 that is disposed on a further proximal side in comparison to the coil distal portion 41, and a coil intermediate portion 43 that is disposed between the coil distal portion 41 and the coil proximal portion 42, and includes the wire 431 having a wire diameter that is smaller than a wire diameter of the wires 411 and 421 of the coil distal portion 41 and the coil proximal portion 42.
