To provide a vehicle seat which enables improvement of accuracy of detection by an occupant detection sensor.SOLUTION: A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame; a cushion member; a skin; an occupant detection sensor 40 which is disposed below the cushion member and detects the existence/non-existence of an occupant; a connection member 30F supporting the occupant detection sensor 40 from below; and multiple seat springs 20 disposed at the seat frame. The seat frame has: a pair of side frames; and a pan frame 12 which connects front end parts of the pair of side frames. The occupant detection sensor 40 is configured to be sandwiched by the cushion member and the connection member 30F and thereby detect an occupant when the occupant is seated. The connection member 30F is a member which connects the multiple seat springs 20 and disposed so as to overlap with the pan frame 12 when viewed from a vertical direction. An upper end part of the occupant detection sensor 40 is located below an upper end part of the pan frame 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】乗員検知センサによる検知の精度を向上させることができる乗物用シートを提供する。【解決手段】シートフレームと、クッション部材と、表皮とを備える乗物用シートであって、クッション部材の下側に配置され、乗員の有無を検知する乗員検知センサ４０と、乗員検知センサ４０を下側から支持する連結部材３０Ｆと、シートフレームに架設された複数のシートスプリング２０とを備え、シートフレームは、一対のサイドフレームと、一対のサイドフレームの前端部同士を連結するパンフレーム１２とを有し、乗員検知センサ４０は、乗員が座ったときに、クッション部材と連結部材３０Ｆとで挟まれることで乗員を検知するように構成され、連結部材３０Ｆは、複数のシートスプリング２０同士を連結する部材であり、上下方向から見てパンフレーム１２と重なるように配置されており、乗員検知センサ４０の上端部は、パンフレーム１２の上端部よりも下方に位置する。【選択図】図４
