An occupant protection device includes an airbag10that is inflated with gas from an inflator20at a side of an occupant B to protect the body of the occupant B from the shoulder Ba to the lumbar Bd, the airbag10having substantially the same vertical dimension as that of a seat back Aa. In this occupant protection device, uninflatable sections12and13are formed in a vertical center portion10cof the airbag10, that is, at a position corresponding to the chest Bb and the abdomen Bc of the occupant B. Accordingly, a region which is thinner than an upper portion10aand a lower portion10bof the airbag10in a vehicle width direction when the airbag10is inflated and that extends substantially parallel to the seat back Aa is formed substantially at the center of the airbag10.
