PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a mounting structure of in-vehicle equipment such as an inverter capable of preventing or suppressing the in-vehicle equipment from moving and rotating outward in a vehicle width direction if load is applied to the in-vehicle equipment from a vehicle front side.SOLUTION: A longitudinally intermediate portion of a second bracket 52 connecting an inverter 14 to a radiator support upper side 24 is lapped on a restriction wall 74 formed on a relay box 72 in a vehicle longitudinal direction and a vehicle vertical direction. If the inverter 14 is to move and rotate along with the second bracket 52 because of load applied to a radiator support upper portion 20 from a vehicle front side, then the second bracket 52 abuts on the restriction wall 74, and the restriction wall 74 restricts moving and rotation of the inverter 14. It is thereby possible to prevent or suppress the inverter 14 from moving to such a position as to hold the inverter 14 between a suspension tower 64 and the radiator support upper portion 20.
