Provided is a sliding component capable of obtaining a stable low-
friction effect in a wide range of conditions of use. Sliding components 10 and 20 have sliding surfaces 11 and 21 sliding relative to each other. A base material 22 of the sliding component 20 is directly coated with a thin film 30 mainly made of
graphite, the sliding surface 21 is formed by the thin film 30, and the thin film 30 contains fillers 40 and 41 with dimensions equal to or less than the thickness of the thin film 30.
