An absorbent article contains a non-woven fabric sheet for an absorbent. The non-woven fabric sheet is produced without employing a strength-imparting means such as post-coating of an adhesive agent that can deteriorate a liquid diffusion property of the non-woven fabric sheet. The absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable surface sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, an absorbent arranged therebetween, and the non-woven fabric sheet for the absorbent. The non-woven fabric sheet contains pulp, a pulp fiber layer, a first-surface-side fiber layer arranged on a first surface of the pulp fiber layer and mainly composed of hydrophilic fibers having an average fiber length of 25 to 64 mm, and a second-surface-side fiber layer arranged on a second surface of the pulp fiber layer and mainly composed of hydrophilic fibers having an average fiber length of 25 to 64 mm.
