Provided is a low-cost propeller shaft capable of accommodating multiple variations of input/output shafts. A first adapter member (6a) connects an input shaft (3) and a first constant-velocity joint (4a). The first adapter member is equipped with: a male spline (42) for engaging the female spline (20) of the inner-race member (11) in the first constant-velocity joint (4a), and formed on the outer-circumferential surface of a small-diameter shaft section (39); and a female spline (46) for engaging the male spline (35) of an input shaft (3), and formed on the inner-circumferential surface of a large-diameter shaft section (41). As a result, by producing only this first adapter member (6a), it is possible to accommodate an input shaft (3) of a type in which the outer diameter, the length in the shaft direction, or the shape of the male spline (35) differs from an existing type.
