To provide a saddle-riding type vehicle which is configured so that an interval between a rear wheel and a rear fender is kept constant even when a unit swing oscillates vertically, where the rear fender provided in the vehicle has a function of covering a side surface of the rear wheel.SOLUTION: A saddle-riding type vehicle (1) comprises a swing unit-type power unit (P) that pivotally supports a rear wheel (WR) rotatably and is mounted on a vehicle body oscillatably, and a rear fender (50) arranged above a rear side of the rear wheel (WR). The power unit (P) is provided with a rear cushion support part (60) supporting a rear cushion (17) that suspends a rear end part of the power unit (P) on the vehicle body. The rear fender (50) is mounted on the power unit (P) through two stays (52 and 53) extending rearward from a position close to a rear end of the power unit (P). Two stay support parts (61 and 62) supporting the stays (52 and 53) are arranged to sandwich the rear cushion support part (60), in a vehicle body side view.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】ユニットスイングが上下に揺動しても後輪とリヤフェンダとの間隔が一定であり、かつ後輪の側面を覆う機能を有するリヤフェンダを備えた鞍乗型車両を提供する。【解決手段】後輪（ＷＲ）を回転自在に軸支すると共に車体に揺動自在に取り付けられるスイングユニット式のパワーユニット（Ｐ）と、後輪（ＷＲ）の後方上方に配置されるリヤフェンダ（５０）とを有する鞍乗型車両（１）において、前記パワーユニット（Ｐ）に、該パワーユニット（Ｐ）の後端部を車体に吊り下げるリヤクッション（１７）を支持するリヤクッション支持部（６０）が設ける。リヤフェンダ（５０）を、パワーユニット（Ｐ）の後端寄りの位置から後方に延びる２本のステー（５２，５３）を介してパワーユニット（Ｐ）に取り付けられる。ステー（５２，５３）を支持する２つのステー支持部（６１，６２）を、車体側面視で、リヤクッション支持部（６０）を挟むように配設する。【選択図】図７
