Provided is an absorbent article wherein there is no deterioration in the ability of absorption and even when a compressed groove is displaced in the width direction, consumers will hardly notice the displacement. This absorbent article 1 is provided with a surface sheet 4, a back sheet 5, and an absorbent body 3, and includes a pair of compressed grooves 11a, 11b. The absorbent article is provided with a first compressed part 21 and a second compressed part 22 arranged side by side in the width direction W, the first compressed part 21 and second compressed part 22 being spaced apart from the pair of compressed grooves in one of the longitudinal directions L. The first compressed part includes a groove that forms a first pattern in a plan view. The centroid G21 of the first pattern is located on one side of a longitudinal center line CL. The second compressed part comprises a groove that forms a second pattern that is different from the first pattern in a plan view. The centroid G22 of the second pattern is located on the other side of the longitudinal center line. The first compressed part and the second compressed part differ from each other with regards to at least one among relative position and inclination relative to the longitudinal center line.
