To provide a front structure of a vehicle 1 which can suppress intrusion of water splash into the vehicle inside even when a rear wall section 52 of a deflector 5 is pressed to a vehicle front side by water pressure.SOLUTION: A front structure of a vehicle 1 includes: a front side fender liner 11 which covers a front wheel 2 along a circumferential direction of the front wheel 2 disposed in a front section of the vehicle 1; and a deflector 5 which is connected to a front end of the front side fender liner 11. The deflector 5 includes a portion abutting on a front face of the front side fender liner 11 and has a rear wall section 52 having a portion overlapping the front side fender liner 11 in a vehicle front view and a portion extending to a vehicle lower side rather than a front section lower end of the front side fender liner 11. The rear wall section 52 has a high rigidity portion (bent portion 52b) extending along a vehicle width direction in the portion overlapping the front side fender liner 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】水圧によってデフレクタ５の後壁部５２が車両前方側へ押圧された場合であっても、車両内部への水飛沫の侵入を抑えられる車両１の前部構造を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】車両１の前部に配設された前輪２の周方向に沿って、前輪２を覆う前側フェンダーライナー１１と、前側フェンダーライナー１１の前端に連結されたデフレクタ５とを備えた車両１の前部構造であって、デフレクタ５は、前側フェンダーライナー１１の前面に当接する部位を含むとともに、車両前方視で前側フェンダーライナー１１に重なり合う部分と、前側フェンダーライナー１１の前部下端よりも車両下方へ延びる部分とを有する後壁部５２を備え、後壁部５２は、前側フェンダーライナー１１と重なり合う部分に、車幅方向に沿って延びる高剛性部位（折曲部分５２ｂ）を備えたことを特徴とする。【選択図】図６
