Provided is a frame member formed by cold-pressing a steel sheet. The frame member has a closed cross section portion in which a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction is a closed cross section, and the closed cross section portion has at least one flat part having a radius of curvature larger than a maximum external dimension of the cross section. A Vickers hardness of a thickness middle portion in a reference flat part is 300 Hv or greater, a width of the reference flat part is 2.0 times or less the effective width, and a standard deviation ratio obtained by dividing a standard deviation of hardness frequency distribution in a surface layer portion in the reference flat part by a standard deviation of hardness frequency distribution in the thickness middle portion in the reference flat part is greater than 1.0.
