A centrifugal pump for pumping blood includes a housing 2 with a housing main body 20, a blood inlet port 25, and a blood outlet port 26. A rotary body 3 is rotatably accommodated inside the housing main body 20, and a support mechanism 4 supports the rotary body 3. The support mechanism 4 is provided with a rod-like shaft member 5, and a first bearing 6 and a second bearing 7 which respectively and rotatably support end portions of the shaft member 5. The first bearing 6 is provided with a protruding portion 62 which protrudes in an eccentric manner with respect to a rotation center O when viewed from an upstream side of a blood flow, so that the protruding portion shields a counter-rotating, longitudinal side of the shaft member from exposure to the main flow of blood.
