Provided is a V-ribbed belt that can suppress generation of slippage when it is splashed with water, and generation of noise. A V-ribbed belt has a rib-forming surface with plural rows of ribs formed therein and extending in a belt longitudinal direction to allow the rib-forming surface to be brought into contact with pulleys when in use, wherein the V-ribbed belt has reentrant portions on the rib-forming surface to form a non-contact area that is held out of contact with the pulleys when the V-ribbed belt is driven, so that water is allowed to flow into the non-contact area when the V-ribbed belt is splashed with water. |
