A variable displacement swash plate type compressor includes a displacement control valve. The displacement control valve includes a drive force transmitting member, a valve member having a first valve body, a pressure sensing mechanism, which adjusts the valve opening degree of the first valve body, a communication passage, which connects a back pressure chamber and an accommodating chamber to each other, and a second valve body, which selectively opens and closes the communication passage. The first valve body opens when current supply to an electromagnetic solenoid is stopped and the pressure in a suction pressure zone is less than a threshold value. The second valve body closes when current is supplied to the electromagnetic solenoid and opens when the current supply to the electromagnetic solenoid is stopped and the pressure in the suction pressure zone is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

A double-headed piston type swash plate compressor includes a swash plate, a double-headed piston, a control pressure chamber, a discharge pressure region, a suction pressure region, a supplying passage, which extends from the discharge pressure region to the control pressure chamber, a narrowing portion, which narrows an opening degree of the supplying passage, and a displacement control valve. The displacement control valve controls a pressure in the control pressure chamber. The displacement control valve includes a driving force transmission rod, a valve chamber, a guide wall, and a back pressure chamber. The back pressure chamber is in communication with the valve chamber through a clearance between the guide wall and the driving force transmission rod. The narrowing portion has a passage cross-sectional area that is larger than a passage cross-sectional area of the clearance.
