A rotary valve that includes a rotor and a casing which rotatably accommodates the rotor. The casing includes an inflow side opening through which a fluid flows in from the outside to the rotor accommodating space and two outflow side openings through which the fluid flows out from the rotor accommodating space to the outside, at a position opposite to an outer circumferential surface of the rotor. The rotor is formed in a cylindrical shape having an internal space. An end surface of the rotor is provided with an end surface side opening which communicates with the internal space. The outer circumferential surface of the rotor is provided with a rotor outer circumferential opening and a rotor outer circumferential blocking surface which are configured to open and close the outflow side openings of the casing.
