An absorbent article in which an absorbent body is easily fitted to the human body by an elastic member arranged on a non-skin surface side of the absorbent body is provided. The absorbent article (10) has the absorbent body (40), an exterior body (15) arranged in a front waistline region, and the elastic member (65) stretchable in a width direction arranged in the exterior body. An outer end part of the absorbent body in a front-rear direction is provided with a body non-bonding region in which the absorbent body and the exterior body are not bonded. The elastic member has a first elastic portion (61) arranged to overlap the body non-bonding region in a thickness direction, and at the outer end part, contraction force in the width direction of the body non-bonding region is higher than contraction force in the width direction of an adjacent region extending outside in the front-rear direction from an outer end edge of the body non-bonding region.
