A cermet and a cutting tool are provided which have high wear resistance and high fracture resistance at a cutting edge even in a mode of cutting where the cutting edge comes to have a high temperature. A cermet 1 includes a hard phase 2 including a carbonitride of one or more kinds of metals selected from Group 4, Group 5, and Group 6 metals of the periodic table including at least Ti and a binder phase 3 containing W and at least one kind of a metal selected from Co and Ni, wherein the binder phase 3 includes a first binder phase 4 in which a mass ratio of W to a total amount of Co and Ni (W/(Co+Ni)) is 0.8 or less and a second binder phase 5 in which a mass ratio of W to a total amount of Co and Ni (W/(Co+Ni)) is 1.2 or more.
