A porous composite material includes a metal material for forming a matrix, and at least two kinds of fine particle materials having different wettabilities with respect to the metal material. The porous composite material is provided by melting and impregnating the metal material for forming a matrix with the mixture of at least two kinds of fine particle materials. The porous composite material has excellent characteristics in shock absorbency, acoustics, non-combustibility, lightness, rigidity, and so forth.
