PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce effect on shock absorbing performance caused by a direction of a collision surface of a collided object colliding against a bumper fascia without complicating a structure of the bumper fascia. SOLUTION: An absorber for a bumper is provided with a first energy absorbing part 30 which is formed by foaming a resin molding material and which extends toward a bumper fascia 80 from a bumper reinforcement 70, a second energy absorbing part 40 which is formed of a resin molding material and which extends toward the bumper fascia 80 from the bumper reinforcement 70 in a position in which a space SP1 is formed to allow buckling between the first absorbing part 30 and second energy absorbing part 40 on the bumper reinforcement 70 side, and a bridging part 50 which is arranged facing an indoor side of the bumper fascia 80 and fixes both energy absorbing parts 30, 40 to each other while blocking an opening OP1 between both energy absorbing parts 30, 40 on the bumper fascia 80 side.
