There is provided a hot forged product having excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength even when the hot forged product is produced with a thermal refining treatment and a case hardening thermal treatment after hot forging omitted, and having a chemical composition consisting of, in mass %, C: 0.45 to 0.70%, Si: 0.01 to 0.70%, Mn: 1.0 to 1.7%, S: 0.01 to 0.1%, Cr: 0.05 to 0.25%, Al: 0.003 to 0.050%, N: 0.003 to 0.02% with the balance being Fe and impurities. The matrix at the depth of 500 μm to 5 mm from an unmachined surface of the forged product is a ferrite-pearlite structure, in which a pro-eutectoid ferrite area fraction is 3% or less or a pearlite structure, and the average diameter of pearlite colonies in the pearlite structure at the depth of 500 μm to 5 mm from the unmachined surface is 5.0 μm or less.
