An air conditioner includes: a heat exchanger; a refrigerant flow divider causes a liquid refrigerant to be divided and to flow to the heat exchanger; and a case that includes a bottom plate, and accommodates the heat exchanger and the refrigerant flow divider. A first drain unit having a first opening for drainage is disposed on the bottom plate. The refrigerant flow divider includes: a flow divider body including a branching flow path; and refrigerant tubes that project downward from a lower surface of the flow divider body and then bend upward to connect to the heat exchanger at a position above the lower surface. All of the refrigerant tubes have lowermost ends that overlap with the first drain unit when viewed in a vertical direction.
