To provide a vehicle body structure capable of effectively improving the stiffness of a header panel cantilever-supported on a front end part of a roof panel.SOLUTION: The vehicle body structure includes a header panel 10 cantilever-supported on a front end part 60a of a roof panel 60. The header panel 10 is provided with a swelling part 12 swelling on the vehicle rear side at a central part in a vehicle width direction. The header panel includes: a lateral reinforcement 20 mounted on the vehicle upward side of the header panel 10 to stride the swelling part 12 in the vehicle width direction; a longitudinal reinforcement 30 mounted on the face on the vehicle upward side of the header panel 10 to reach a first junction part 51 at which the header panel 10 is cantilever-supported on the roof panel 60 and an end part on the vehicle rear side at the swelling part 12; and second junction parts 52 joined to each other at a position at which the lateral reinforcement 20 and the longitudinal reinforcement 30 cross. The swelling part 12 is provided with a mounting part 120 of an inner mirror 100 in the vicinity of the vehicle downward side of the second junction part 52.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】ルーフパネルの前端部に片持ち支持されるヘッダパネルの剛性を効果的に向上できる車体構造を提供する。【解決手段】ルーフパネル６０の前端部６０ａに片持ち支持されるヘッダパネル１０を備え、ヘッダパネル１０は、車両幅方向の中央部において、車両後方側に膨出する膨出部１２を備える。膨出部１２を車両幅方向に跨ぐようにヘッダパネル１０の車両上方側の面に取り付けられる横リーンフォースメント２０と、ルーフパネル６０にヘッダパネル１０が片持ち支持される第一接合部５１と膨出部１２における車両後方側の端部とにわたるようにヘッダパネル１０の車両上方側の面に取り付けられる縦リーンフォースメント３０と、横リーンフォースメント２０と縦リーンフォースメント３０とが交差する箇所で互いに接合される第二接合部５２とを備える。膨出部１２は、第二接合部５２の車両下方側の近傍に、インナミラー１００の取付部１２０を備える。【選択図】図２
