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 the trapping layers are loaded with a catalyst, a catalyst amount C at a trapping layer corner, which is a portion of a trapping layer formed on a corner of a cell, and a catalyst amount D at a trapping layer central portion, which is a portion of a trapping layer formed on a midsection of a partition portion, satisfy the relationship of 0.80 ≤ C/D ≤ 0.95, wherein the amounts of catalyst C and D 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 trapping layers formed on inlet cells and outlet cells in a region in which partition portions intersect are connected with a line to form a trapping layer tetragon, a sector at which the trapping layer tetragon and said trapping layer formed on an inlet cell corner overlap each other is referred to as said trapping layer corner, the trapping layer central portion being outside the trapping layer 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 the trapping layers are loaded with a catalyst, a catalyst amount C at a trapping layer corner, which is a portion of a trapping layer formed on a corner of a cell, and a catalyst amount D at a trapping layer central portion, which is a portion of a trapping layer formed on a midsection of a partition portion, satisfy the relationship of 0.80 ≤ C/D ≤ 0.95, wherein the amounts of catalyst C and D 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 trapping layers formed on inlet cells and outlet cells in a region in which partition portions intersect are connected with a line to form a trapping layer tetragon, a sector at which the trapping layer tetragon and said trapping layer formed on an inlet cell corner overlap each other is referred to as said trapping layer corner, the trapping layer central portion being outside the trapping layer tetragon.
