A vehicle seat includes a pair of left and right slide rails each having a lower rail extending in a front and rear direction of a vehicle and an upper rail slidably mounted to the lower rail. The lower rail is fixed to a floor F via brackets and so as to be spaced apart from the floor F. A reinforcing member extending in a left and right direction is disposed so as to span between rear end portions of the lower rails, and the reinforcing member is formed such that a bending strength about an axis in an up and down direction of a seat main body is lower than a bending strength about an axis in a front and rear direction of the seat main body.

An actuating mechanism (release mechanism) includes an operating pin (operating mechanism) that is operated by an operating lever, a first link that is operated by the operating pin to release a lock of a longitudinal slide mechanism, and a second link that is operated to release a lock of a lateral slide mechanism. A transmitting portion that receives operating force of the lever transmitted from the operating pin and transmits the operating force to a lock portion of each slide mechanism, and an escape portion that allows the operating force transmitted from the operating pin to escape are formed side by side on each of the links, and power transmitted from the lever to each of the links via the operating pin is allowed to escape during operation.
