A sliding type portable terminal is provided. The sliding type portable terminal includes a first housing, a second housing connected with the first housing while facing the first housing and reciprocating on the first housing in a straight direction, and a guide member mounted to the first housing, the guide member being slidably connected to the second housing while surrounding edges of a rear case of the second housing, wherein ends of both sides of the guide member are surrounded by a front case of the second housing. The sliding type portable terminal can be readily reduced in thickness because the guide member mounted to the first housing is slidably connected to the rear case of the second housing while surrounding the rear case of the second housing. Further, a battery mounting hole is formed in the first housing and closed by the guide member at the one face of the first housing, by which the reduction of thickness of the sliding type portable terminal is more efficiently achieved.
