Abstract: Provided are: expandable acrylic resin bead and expanded acrylic resin bead, both having excellent moldability and capable of providing a foamed molded article that generates less soot during combustion and has a low decomposition gas generation speed; and a foamed molded article obtained through in-mold molding the expanded acrylic resin beads. The expandable acrylic resin bead is composed of an acrylic resin and a physical blowing agent impregnated therein. The acrylic resin contains a methacrylic ester component (A) and an acrylic ester component (B). The content of the component (A) is 85 to 99 mol % with respect to a total 100 mol % of the component (A) and the component (B). At least one of the component (A) and the component (B) contains a component having a polycyclic saturated hydrocarbon group. The glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin is 112 to 125° C.
