A bearing component is prepared from a carburazing steel and having a surface hardness of 63 to 67 in terms of Rockwell hardness C and a surface retained austenite content of at least 20% to less than 25%. The bearing component is produced by a process including the step of carburizing and quenching a bearing component workpiece prepared from a carburizing steel and machined to a predetermined shape, the step of subjecting the resulting workpiece to a preliminary tempering treatment, the step of subjecting the tempered workpiece to a sub-zero treatment and the step of subjecting the treated workpiece to a main tempering treatment. Further, the bearing component is produced by another process including the step of carburizing and quenching a bearing component workpiece prepared from a carburizing steel and machined to a predetermined shape, the step of subjecting the resulting workpiece to a secondary hardening treatment and the step of subjecting the hardened workpiece to a main tempering treatment.
