A cutting insert of the present invention includes an upper face, a lower face, a side face located between the upper face and the lower face, an upper cutting edge located at the intersection of the upper face and the side face, and a lower cutting edge located at the intersection of the lower face and the side face. The side face includes at least one upper concave part which extends up to the upper face along a thickness direction, and divides the upper cutting edge into a plurality of divided upper cutting edges, and at least one lower concave part which extends up to the lower face along the thickness direction, and divides the lower cutting edge into a plurality of divided lower cutting edges. The aforementioned at least one upper concave part and the aforementioned at least one lower concave part are separated from each other through a thick part being continuous along a width direction of the side face. A cutting tool including the cutting insert, and a method of cutting a workpiece using the cutting tool are also provided.
