A sliding device of the present disclosure includes: a fixed rail; a movable rail; a rack fixed within the fixed rail, the rack extending along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the fixed rail; a pinion provided to the movable rail, the pinion including multiple teeth to be engaged with the rack and rotating by receiving a driving force; and a restrictor slidingly displaced integrally with the movable rail, the restrictor contacting with the rack when the movable rail is sliding, to thereby restrict the rack from being displaced in a direction away from the pinion.
