A main body (8) of an absorbent article includes a compressed groove recessed from a topsheet (3) side toward a backsheet (2) side, the compressed groove including a pair of front-rear direction compressed grooves extending in the front-rear direction, wherein the front-rear direction compressed grooves (10) each include high-compressed portions (11) and a low-compressed portion (12) which is less deeply recessed than the high-compressed portions. The front-rear direction compressed grooves (10) each include a first rear compressed groove (10b) formed in a region corresponding to an intergluteal cleft (70) of a wearer when attached, and a middle compressed groove (10a) formed forward of the first rear compressed groove. A total area per unit length in the front-rear direction of the high-compressed portions (11) in the first rear compressed groove (10b) is smaller than a total area per unit length in the front-rear direction of the high-compressed portions (11) in the middle compressed groove (10a).
