A honeycomb filter, comprising: a plurality of porous partition portions each forming a cell that is open at one end and closed at the other end and serves as a flow path of a fluid, at least part of each of the partition portions being loaded with a catalyst; and a trapping layer for trapping and removing solid components contained in the fluid, the trapping layer being disposed on each of the partition portions, at least part of the trapping layer being loaded with a catalyst, characterized in that a catalyst amount A at a partition-intersecting portion of the plurality of partition portions and a catalyst amount B at a partition central portion including a midsection of the partition portions satisfy the relationship of 0.30 ≤ A/B ≤ 0.90, wherein the amounts of catalyst A and B are determined by: elementary analysis with an electron microscope to determine the % by mass of the catalyst; and then determining the amount of catalyst per apparent unit volume by multiplying the % by mass of catalyst by the total weight of the honeycomb filter and dividing the product by the volume of the honeycomb filter, wherein, in a cross section perpendicular to the fluid flow path direction, a center line is drawn between two centers of inlet cells, and a center line is drawn between two centers of outlet cells, adjacent intersections between the center lines (12, 14) and corners of cells in a region in which partition portions intersect are connected with a line to form a tetragon, a circle inscribed in the tetragon being referred to as the partition-intersecting portion, the partition central portion being outside the tetragon. a plurality of porous partition portions each forming a cell that is open at one end and closed at the other end and serves as a flow path of a fluid, at least part of each of the partition portions being loaded with a catalyst; and a trapping layer for trapping and removing solid components contained in the fluid, the trapping layer being disposed on each of the partition portions, at least part of the trapping layer being loaded with a catalyst, characterized in that a catalyst amount A at a partition-intersecting portion of the plurality of partition portions and a catalyst amount B at a partition central portion including a midsection of the partition portions satisfy the relationship of 0.30 ≤ A/B ≤ 0.90, wherein the amounts of catalyst A and B are determined by: elementary analysis with an electron microscope to determine the % by mass of the catalyst; and then determining the amount of catalyst per apparent unit volume by multiplying the % by mass of catalyst by the total weight of the honeycomb filter and dividing the product by the volume of the honeycomb filter, wherein, in a cross section perpendicular to the fluid flow path direction, a center line is drawn between two centers of inlet cells, and a center line is drawn between two centers of outlet cells, adjacent intersections between the center lines (12, 14) and corners of cells in a region in which partition portions intersect are connected with a line to form a tetragon, a circle inscribed in the tetragon being referred to as the partition-intersecting portion, the partition central portion being outside the tetragon.
