PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flashing structure of an edge of eaves, which can be easily retrofitted, and which can prevent a fascia board, the edge of the eaves, etc. from being damaged because driving rain during the rainstorm and a splash of water from an eaves gutter run to the side of the fascia board. SOLUTION: This flashing structure of the edge of the eaves, in which the eaves gutter is arranged below the edge of the eaves of a roof, can be retrofitted in a rear lug portion 42 which is elongated to the indoor side of an eaves gutter body 4. The flashing structure A is composed of an approximately-upright upper flashing piece 1 and a lower flashing piece 2 formed in an inverted L-shape in a lateral view. The inverted L-shaped lower flashing piece 2 is molded integrally with a leg portion 12 of the upper flashing piece 1 so as to form a recess 3 opened downward; the recess 3 is externally fitted to the rear lug portion 42 of the eaves gutter B; and a suspended portion 22 of the inverted L-shaped lower flashing piece 2 is suspended to the side of the edge of the eaves, so as to form the flashing structure A together with the approximately-upright upper flashing piece 1.
