Rolling Bearing

A rolling bearing, comprising:

• an inner ring;
• an outer ring;
• a plurality of rolling elements that are interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring;
• and
• a cage that holds the plurality of rolling elements, wherein
• one of the inner ring and the outer ring is a rotary ring and the other is a stationary ring,
• a fitting surface of the stationary ring fitted to a mating member is formed in first and second partial peripheral surfaces of a radially outer surface of the stationary ring which faces the mating member, the first partial peripheral surface being formed on one side in an axial direction and the second partial peripheral surface being formed on the other side in the axial direction with respect to the first partial peripheral surface,
• an annular groove that restrains creep is formed between the first partial peripheral surface and the second partial peripheral surface, and
• the annular groove has a depth that is large enough not to allow a bottom of the annular groove to contact the mating member when a radial static rated load is applied.
