The object of the present invention is to offer a swash plate type compressor, wherein a swash plate is smoothly rotated relative to a drive shaft, whereby noise and vibration in the direction perpendicular to the drive shaft are reduced, and wherein a roller bearing with small frictional resistance is used, whereby mechanical loss is reduced. The swash plate type compressor comprises, a housing having a crank chamber and a plurality of cylinder bores therein, pistons, the drive shaft and the swash plate supported by the supporting member and converting the rotation of the drive shaft to the reciprocating movement of the pistons. A supporting member, which has a supporting surface crossing with respect to an axis of the drive shaft at a certain angle and a supporting shaft portion formed perpendicular to the supporting surface, is integrally and rotatably mounted around the drive shaft. The swash plate is rotatably supported relative to the supporting member through a thrust bearing on the supporting surface, and through the roller bearing as a radial bearing around the supporting shaft portion.
