Abstract: A damper having an improved structure in which a constant damping force can be maintained, and a washing machine including the same. The washing machine includes a damper provided in a cabinet so as to dampen vibration of a tub, wherein the damper includes: a suspension rod having one end coupled to the cabinet; a movement member that is coupled to an outer side of the suspension rod so as to move along the suspension rod integrally with the tub; a support member that is coupled to the other end of the suspension rod; and a shock-absorbing member provided between the movement member and the support member so as to vary due to vibration transmitted from the tub, and wherein at least one lubricant accommodation portion is formed at an inner side of the movement member so as to accommodate a lubricant applied to the suspension rod.
