A tapered roller bearing includes an inner ring having a large flange surface, and tapered rollers having roller large end surfaces. The large flange surface has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.1 μm≤Ra≤0.2 μm. The large flange surface further has a roughness curve skewness Rsk of −1.0≤Rsk≤−0.3, and a roughness curve kurtosis Rku of 3.0≤Rsk≤5.0. The tapered roller bearing is capable of realizing both stable rotation torque while the bearing is rotating at a low speed, and excellent resistance.
