[Purpose] To provide a vehicle seat which can minimize the possibility of an objectionable touch of seat cushion of the seat to a seat occupant, and further has a storage space defined in the seat cushion as an area for storage of an article (s) therein, such storage space being able to be easily increased in dimensions. [Means for Achieving the Purpose] According to a vehicle seat 1, a storage space is provided in a forwardly-facing region of a seat cushion SC, and such forwardly-facing region of the seat cushion SC is a location to receive a relatively small weight of a passenger. Namely, the passenger's body portion may hardly reach the storage space S, and therefore in most cases, the passenger will not feel an objectionable seating touch on the seat cushion SC. In addition, the storage space S can be formed to a large size, thereby permitting increase of its dimensions for storing articles therein. Further, at the storage space S, an opening region 4a is provided, which serves as an ingress/egress opening 6 defined in a lateral surface 5 of the seat cushion SC on a side facing a center of a vehicle, whereby the ingress/egress opening 6 can hardly be viewed by the eyes of a passenger, which effectively precludes undesired degradation of an aesthetic appearance of the seat 1.
