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.
