<p>The present invention relates to a sliding member (10) which is provided with a sliding surface (12) which is in sliding contact with a predetermined member. The sliding surface (12) has formed thereon: a protrusion (26) which protrudes toward the predetermined member: and a lubrication coating (32) which covers the protrusion (26). The protrusion (26) and the lubrication coating (32) are formed so that a cross-section of the sliding member (10) cut in the direction in which the protrusion (26) protrudes has a trapezoidal shape. If the length of the top side of the trapezoid is Z and the total length of the lubrication coating (32) in the top side is X, the cross-section coverage expressed by the following formula (1) is 15% or more: Cross-section coverage (%) = (X/Z) × 100 ...
