A heated toilet seat, wherein a heating means (5) is built in a toilet seat (2) rotatably installed on a body (1) through a pivot part (3), a control part (4) disposed in the body is connected to the heating means (5), and a contact-energized connection part (11) having a shaft part (12) positioned concentrically to the rotating axis thereof and having connection electrodes (14, 15) on the outer peripheral surface or end face thereof and a tubular part (13) formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape for inserting the shaft part (12) therein and having elastic connection pieces (17, 18) in elastic contact with the connection electrodes (14, 15) of the shaft part (12) is installed on the pivot part (3) so that the pivot part (3) can be attached/detached by moving the toilet seat (2) in the axial direction of the pivot part (3) to connect and disconnect the contact-energized connection part (11). Also, a sealing member (20) movably energized to a position for sealing the connection opening (10a) of the tubular member (13) in which the shaft part (12) of the toilet seat (2) is inserted is installed in the toilet seat. Thus, when an operation for extracting the shaft part (12) of the toilet seat (2) from the connection opening (10a) of the tubular part (13) is performed, the sealing member (20) is movably energized to the sealing position to seal the connection opening (10a).
