A sliding member includes a bearing alloy layer and an overlay. The overlay includes a diffusion prevention layer on the bearing alloy layer, and a corrosion prevention layer on the diffusion prevention layer. A surface of the corrosion prevention layer is a sliding surface. The corrosion prevention layer constitutes 50% to 90% of an entire volume of the overlay. The corrosion prevention layer and the diffusion prevention layer each include a corrosion inhibitor and the balance of Bi and inevitable impurities. The corrosion inhibitor is defined as one or more elements that have a higher oxygen affinity than Bi and that form an alloy, a solid solution or an intermetallic compound with Bi. An average concentration of the corrosion inhibitor included in the diffusion prevention layer is lower than an average concentration of the corrosion inhibitor included in the corrosion prevention layer.
