A scroll compressor includes a first scroll and a second scroll engaged with the first scroll to form a compression chamber with the first scroll while performing an orbiting movement with respect to the first scroll. A frame is fixed to a side of the first scroll with the second scroll interposed between the frame and the first scroll and the frame supporting the second scroll in an axial direction. An Oldham ring includes a ring portion and a key portion protruding from the ring portion. The key portion is slidably coupled to a key recess in the frame or the second scroll to enable the second scroll to perform the orbiting movement, and the key portion of the Oldham ring is formed of the same material as the second scroll. A wear preventing member is provided between the key portion and the key recess.
