To provide a cylindrical energy absorption member whose structure is simple and which can stably obtain appropriate energy absorption performance with a long stroke.

In a cylindrical energy absorption member A in which a plurality of fine plate parts 10, which are held by a plurality of slits 2, are provided by providing the slits so as to align with intervals in a circumferential direction in a cylindrical peripheral wall part 1, the plurality of fine plate parts 10 extend at an angle inclined to the axial length direction of the peripheral wall part 1 from a part close to one end of the axial length direction toward a part close to the other end.
