The present disclosure provides a polyisoprene wherein: a vinyl bond content of the polyisoprene is 30 mol % or higher; and a ratio of the weight-average absolute molecular weight (Mw′) determined by GPC-MALS with respect to the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) in terms of polystyrene determined by GPC, i.e., Mw′/Mw, is 0.850 or less. A rubber composition containing the polyisoprene is excellent in the fuel-saving performance and grip performance on a wet road surface, as compared with a rubber composition containing the conventional polyisoprene.
