A variable displacement vane compressor including a rotor rotatably supported between a pair of side plates secured to a cylinder, vanes movably supported in the rotor to define variable compression chambers in the cylinder, a reciprocally rotatable displacement control plate located between the rotor and one of the side plates for controlling the largest displacement of the compression chambers when closed, a spool chamber provided in one side plate and opposed to the displacement control plate, a spool which reciprocates in the spool chamber to define a first pressure chamber in which a refrigerant having a discharge pressure is introduced and a second pressure chamber in which an oil having the discharge pressure is introduced through a control valve unit in response to the suction pressure, the spool and the displacement control plate being interconnected by a connecting member and moving together, a seal ring between the displacement control plate and the one side plate, for isolating a high pressure area from a low pressure area, and feed passages for introducing the oil having the discharge pressure to the sealing ring. The one side plate has an elongated hole which permits movement of the connecting member extending therethrough, and the seal ring has a diameter smaller than that of an imaginary circle centered on the rotation axis of the rotor and circumscribing the elongated hole. The seal ring is eccentric to the rotation axis and includes the elongated hole in the seal ring.
