A scroll compressor including an oil separator is provided. The oil separator may be provided with a rotor or a shaft of a driving motor of the compressor so that refrigerant gas and oil discharged from a compression chamber may be separated by a centrifugal force. The oil separator may include a plurality of oil separation holes formed in an eccentric mass and a rotor. Rotation of the shaft/rotor and subsequent rotation of the eccentric mass generates a centrifugal force, causing separation of oil from refrigerant gas contained in the oil separation holes. Accordingly, oil is maintained in the casing, and is prevented from being discharged out of the compressor, thus preventing abrasion due to oil deficiency and a degradation in reliability of the compressor. Furthermore, oil is prevented from being discharged to a refrigerating system externally coupled to the compressor, thereby enhancing performance of the refrigerating system.
