There is provided a slide bearing capable of preventing or reducing a temperature increase in lubricant. A cylindrical main bearing is formed by combining a pair of upper bearing and lower bearing and rotatably supports a crank journal. The lower bearing includes a downstream crush relief formed at a downstream end in the rotation direction of the crank journal in an inner periphery of the lower bearing; and an oil groove formed in the inner periphery of the lower bearing so as to communicate with the downstream crush relief.
