To provide a scroll compressor that reduces pressure loss during discharge from relief ports to improve efficiency, and increases arrangement flexibility of relief valves while minimizing the number of relief valves to prevent structure from being complicated.
The scroll compressor includes a relief port 31A composed of a plurality of holes formed on the outer circumferential side of a discharge port, for connecting a compression chamber to a discharge chamber 16. A plate member is provided corresponding to a portion where at least the relief port 31A composed of the plurality of holes are opened on an end surface of an end plate of a fixed scroll 16. A single relief flow path 37 is formed between the plate member and the end surface of the end plate of the fixed scroll 16, to integrate the plurality of holes constituting the relief port 31A and lead to the discharge chamber at the position away from the position of the relief port 31A. A relief valve 34A is provided at an opening 39 for the discharge chamber in the relief flow path 37.
