A vehicle seat having a mechanism for moving a headrest in a rear-end collision, comprising: a seat back frame having a pair of side frames disposed in a spaced manner in a right and left direction; a pressure receiving part disposed between the pair of side frames to receive a load placed by a rearward movement of a passenger; a transmission section disposed on one side frame side of the pair of side frames to connect the pressure receiving part to the headrest and transmit the load received by the pressure receiving part to a side of the headrest; and an engagement section disposed on the other side frame side of the pair of side frames that engages the pressure receiving part with the other side frame, and is not connected to the headrest, wherein when a load exceeding a predetermined magnitude is received by the pressure receiving part, the load is transmitted to the headrest side via the transmission section, thereby moving the headrest.
