To efficiently lay roof tiles by reducing the necessity of tile battens.

This tile comprises a tile body 20 having a lower side overlapped part 30 at one of the right and left edge parts and an upper side overlapped part 40 at the other, a contact part 26 projecting to the rear side of the tile body 20 on the rear surface of the tile body 20, and a projecting part to be contacted projecting to the front side of the upper side overlapped part 40 at the end of the upper side overlapped part 40 on the front surface ridge side. The contact part 26 is brought into contact with the projecting part to be contacted of the tile 10 adjacent to the eaves side when roofing is performed so that at least a part of the weight of the tile 10 is supported by the tile 10 adjacent to the eaves side.
