An object of the present invention is to provide a laminated film that exhibits superior water repellency and oil repellency and has good adhesion between a substrate film and a coating layer, and for this purpose, the laminated film is a laminated film comprising a substrate film and at least one coating layer laminated on the substrate film, wherein the coating layer contains an acid-modified polyolefin and hydrophobic oxide particles, and the acid-modified polyolefin has an acid value of 1 mgKOH/g or more and 60 mgKOH/g or less. Preferably, the laminated film is a solution means in which a surface of the coating layer has a contact angle with respect to water of 100 degrees or more.
