Provided is a slide bearing 1 with which friction can be reduced and the total amount of effluent oil can be reduced. In the slide bearing (1) in which the halved members (2), (2) made by dividing the cylinder in two in the direction parallel to the axial direction are disposed vertically, the narrow grooves (33) are provided at an end of the lower halved member (2) in the circumferential direction from a mating surface on a downstream side of a rotation direction to a predetermined bearing angle (É1) and peripheral edge parts (32a) are provided outside the narrow grooves (33) in an axial direction.
