A particulate filter suitable for collecting particulate matter in exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine, the particulate filter being disposed in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, the particulate filter comprising: a wall-flow structure substrate including an inlet cell open only at an exhaust gas inflow end, an outlet cell adjacent to the inlet cell and open only at an exhaust gas outflow end, and a porous partition that partitions the inlet cell and the outlet cell; and a wash coat layer, wherein the wash coat layer includes an inlet layer and an outlet layer; characterized in that the wash coat layer is formed inside the partition, the inlet layer has a predetermined thickness from a surface of the partition in contact with the inlet cell toward an inner side of the partition and has a predetermined length along an extending direction of the partition from near the exhaust gas inflow end, the outlet layer has a predetermined thickness from a surface of the partition in contact with the outlet cell toward the inner side of the partition and has a predetermined length along the extending direction of the partition from near the exhaust gas outflow end, the thicknesses and the lengths of the inlet layer and the outlet layer are set such that the inlet layer and the outlet layer partially overlap each other, the inlet layer contains a precious metal catalyst that promotes combustion of the particulate matter, while the outlet layer contains substantially no precious metal catalyst, and assuming that a total length of the partition in the extending direction is 100%, the inlet layer exists in a region of 50% or more and 75% or less from near the exhaust gas outflow end. a wall-flow structure substrate including an inlet cell open only at an exhaust gas inflow end, an outlet cell adjacent to the inlet cell and open only at an exhaust gas outflow end, and a porous partition that partitions the inlet cell and the outlet cell; and an inlet cell open only at an exhaust gas inflow end, an outlet cell adjacent to the inlet cell and open only at an exhaust gas outflow end, and a porous partition that partitions the inlet cell and the outlet cell; and a wash coat layer, wherein the wash coat layer includes an inlet layer and an outlet layer; the wash coat layer is formed inside the partition, the inlet layer has a predetermined thickness from a surface of the partition in contact with the inlet cell toward an inner side of the partition and has a predetermined length along an extending direction of the partition from near the exhaust gas inflow end, the outlet layer has a predetermined thickness from a surface of the partition in contact with the outlet cell toward the inner side of the partition and has a predetermined length along the extending direction of the partition from near the exhaust gas outflow end, the thicknesses and the lengths of the inlet layer and the outlet layer are set such that the inlet layer and the outlet layer partially overlap each other, the inlet layer contains a precious metal catalyst that promotes combustion of the particulate matter, while the outlet layer contains substantially no precious metal catalyst, and assuming that a total length of the partition in the extending direction is 100%, the inlet layer exists in a region of 50% or more and 75% or less from near the exhaust gas outflow end.
