A compressor includes a compression mechanism that compresses refrigerant; a main shaft that transmits a rotational driving force to the compression mechanism; a balance weight provided below the compression mechanism and integrated with the main shaft, the balance weight having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface centered at the main shaft; and an oil sump portion provided below the balance weight and stores lubricating oil to be supplied to the compression mechanism. The balance weight has an annular oil-receiving recessed portion in an upper surface, the oil-receiving recessed portion being centered at the main shaft and integrated with the balance weight. The balance weight has a hollow portion in a lower surface, the hollow portion extending in part of the lower surface in a peripheral direction around the main shaft and being integrated with the balance weight. The oil-receiving recessed portion communicates with at least part of the hollow portion.
