Disclosed is a surface sheet for a wound dressing and a wound dressing: with the ability to maintain a moist environment while trapping an exudate in such a manner that the area of the exudate does not significantly spread out that is simple to detach after use that does not produce redness, a sweat rash or offensive odors and that can be made to fit to wound surfaces of various shapes. A liquid permeable layer (1) is provided on the side to be used in such a manner as to face a wound site (15). The liquid permeable layer (1) comprises a surface sheet (10) made from a resin. The surface sheet (10) comprises a first surface (11) that faces the wound site (15), a second surface (12) on the opposite side of the first surface (11), and many perforations (13) that pass through the two surfaces (11 and 12) in the thickness direction. The perforations (13) permit liquids to penetrate from the first surface (11) to the second surface (12). The first surface is hydrophobic.
