Let $0 < s < 1$ and $1< p < 2$ be such that $ps < N$ and let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain containing the origin. In this paper we prove the following improved Hardy inequality:
Given $1 \le q < p$, there exists a positive constant $C\equiv C(\Omega, q, N, s)$ such that $$ \int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N}\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N} \, \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^{p}}{|x-y|^{N+ps}}\,dx\,dy - \Lambda_{N,p,s} \int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{|u(x)|^p}{|x|^{ps}}\,dx$$$$\geq C \int\limits_{\Omega}\int\limits_{\Omega}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{N+qs}}dxdy $$ for all $u \in \mathcal{C}_0^\infty({\Omega})$. Here $\Lambda_{N,p,s}$ is the optimal constant in the Hardy inequality （1.1）.
