An absorbent article where compressed grooves formed in a body (8) of the absorbent article from a top sheet (3) toward a bottom sheet (2) include a pair of central compressed grooves (21) formed in line symmetry with respect to a centerline serving as an axis of symmetry, a pair of front lateral side compressed grooves (23) formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on the front lateral side of the central compressed grooves, and a pair of rear lateral side compressed grooves (24) formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on the rear lateral side of the central compressed grooves, each of the pair of the front lateral side compressed grooves and the pair of the rear lateral side compressed grooves includes a first compressed groove and a second compressed groove positioned more distant from the centerline than the first compressed groove, the first compressed groove and the second compressed groove have a circular arc shape, and are disposed such that inner circular arcs of both compressed grooves face each other, and an extension line of the central compressed grooves passes between an end of the first compressed groove and an end of the second compressed groove, and does not pass between another end of the first compressed groove and another end of the second compressed groove.
