The present invention provides a thermal cracking tube formed with an agitating element that has a good agitation effect and improves heat transfer efficiency while minimizing an increase in the pressure loss of the fluid flowing through the cracking tube. A thermal cracking tubewith an agitating element of the present invention is a thermal cracking tube having a tube axis with one end and the other end, wherein a fluid inlet is on the one end and a fluid outlet is on the other end, the tube being provided on an inner surface thereof with one or more fluid agitating elementsextending from the inner surface of the tube and having an inwardly facing top portion, wherein the agitating element is helically inclined to or is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the tube axis, and the top portion deviates to the fluid inlet sideor the fluid outlet side, relative to a centerof a width direction of the agitation element.
