A disposable wearing article adapted to ensure a desired fit in a front waist region and to make the leg elastics free from interference from elongation and contraction of waist elastics without disfiguring the article as viewed from the back. In an inner end portion of a front waist region (14), a pair of first side elastic zones spaced apart from and opposite to each other in a transverse direction and a first middle inelastic zone lying between the first side elastic zones are defined and, in an inner end portion of a rear waist region (15), a pair of second side elastic zones spaced apart from and opposite to each other in the transverse direction and a second middle inelastic zone lying between the second side elastic zones are defined. A crotch panel includes a pair of leg elastics intersecting with the first and second side elastic zones. A dimension in the transverse direction of the second middle inelastic zone is larger than that of the first middle inelastic zone and a dimension in the transverse direction of the respective first intersection zones is larger than that of the respective second intersection zones.
