A centrifugal blower includes a scroll casing defining a scroll passage having a suction port and a discharge port. A fan member is disposed rotatably in the scroll casing, and the fan member is rotated by a motor. The fan member includes a plate member having at least a first circular plate portion and a second circular plate portion which are arranged in an axial direction to have a step shape in cross section, and a plurality of blades which are arranged at an outer peripheral portion of the plate member and extend in the axial direction. Furthermore, the plate member is arranged to change a flow direction of air drawn by the fan member from the suction port in an axial direction, to a radial outside. Because the plate member is arranged in the step shape in cross section, fan noise due to disturbed air flow can be restricted.
