The invention provides an omni-directional wheel improving the riding conformability and an omni-directional vehicle including the same. The omni-directional wheel (100) includes a substantially cylindrical hub (50) provided so as to be rotatable around an axle (A); a plurality of rollers which have axes extending in a direction intersecting a radial direction of the hub (50) and of each of which an outline has a curvature equal to a curvature of a circle centered at the axle (A); a support part which allows the rollers to be mounted so as to be rotatable around the respective axes, which supports the rollers such that the outlines are arranged on a single circumference; and rubber tubes (51, 52) which are held between and in contact between the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical part (50A) of the hub (50) and the inner circumferential surface (22) of the support part in the radial direction.
