An exhaust gas purification catalyst having an excellent exhaust partition ability while reducing the increase in pressure loss. Exhaust gas purification catalyst includes a substrate having a wall-flow structure with partition wall, upstream coating section formed in portions of partition wall facing entrance cell, from exhaust inlet-side end in the extending direction of partition wall, and downstream coating section formed in portions of partition wall facing exit cell, from exhaust outlet-side end in the extending direction, having a length shorter than the entire length Lw of the partition wall. In downstream coating section, a catalytic metal is concentrated in the surface layer in contact with exit cell. |
