A scroll compressor having an improved compression efficiency by optimizing a step mesh gap in an operating state is provided. The scroll compressor having a step-like shape has a step-mesh-gap set value occurring between step side surfaces of a connecting wall of a fixed scroll and a connecting edge of a revolving scroll and a step-mesh-gap set value occurring between step side surfaces of a connecting walls of the revolving scroll and a connecting edge of the fixed scroll, and a fixed-side set value for when the two move close together due to the revolving scroll tilting by receiving gas pressure during operation is set greater than that for when the two move apart.
