To provide a three-dimensional woven fabric whose three or more layer weaves are formed of ≤50 denier warps and ≤50 denier wefts and can easily be woven, even when the weave density of the woven fabric is high.
This three-dimensional woven fabric 11 is formed by binding three weaves 12a, 12b, 12c with binding yarns 13a, 13b. The weaves 12a to 12c are plainly woven from warps 14a to 14c and wefts 15a to 15c, respectively. The binding yarn 13a for binding the first weave 12a and the second weave 12b is penetrated from one side of the adjacent two weaves 12a, 12b and then returned on the other side, and is therefore arranged in both the weaves 12a, 12b to go through the other side. The binding yarn 13b for binding the second weave 12b and the third weave 12c is penetrated from one side of the adjacent two weaves 12b, 12c and then returned on the other side, and is arranged in both the weaves 12b, 12c to go through the other side.
