Provided is a pneumatic fender that suppresses damage to a flexible hollow body and an energy-absorbing body and exhibits improved ship sway reduction effects. A pneumatic fender is provided with an orifice (10) that allows for communication between an interior space (4A) of a flexible hollow body (4) and the interior space (7A) of the casing (7), and a safety valve (8) that opens and allows for communication between the internal space (4A) of the flexible hollow body (4) and the internal space (7A) of the casing (7) by opening when the internal pressure (P) of the flexible hollow body (4) reaches a predetermined pressure (P1).
