A formula of spin currents in mesoscopic superconductors is derived from the mean-field theory of superconductivity. Spin flow is generated by spatial gradient of $\stackrel{P\vec}{d}$ which represents a spin state of spin-triplet superconductors. We discuss a possibility of circulating spin currents in isolated $p$-wave superconducting rings at the zero magnetic field. The direction of spin currents depends on topological numbers which characterize spatial configurations of $\stackrel{P\vec}{d}$ on the ring.
