Claim:
A vehicle seat that includes a seat body constructed of a seatback and a seat cushion, and an operating member that is operated to tilt the seatback forward and that is disposed at such a position as to be operated from behind the seat body, comprising: an operation link that is connected at a first end to the operating member and that is configured to be pivoted in operation; a link mechanism that is pivotally connected to a second end of the operation link, that is configured to receive a force, generated by an operation of the operating member, from the operation link to be moved, and that outputs the force for cancelling fixation of a reclining angle of the seatback; and a torsion spring that is wound around a pivotally-connected portion at which the link mechanism is pivotally connected to the second end of the operation link, and that biases the operation link such that the operation link is pivoted toward an initial position in which the operation link is located before being operated.
