An encloser of a fuel cell stack is provided to protect a fuel cell stack safely, support a fuel cell stack firmly to ensure structural stability, detect leakable hydrogen to be discharged by force, and keep a fuel cell stack at fixed temperature. The encloser of a fuel cell stack comprises: a base plate that supports the underside of a fuel cell stack; lower frames which are installed in the edges of the base plate; column frames which are installed to protrude upwardly from the each corner of the base plate; upper frames which connect the upper ends of the column frames with one another; a main cover which covers the middle faces being length-directional faces of a fuel cell stack formed by the column frames and upper frames, and has air vents(13) and passages(11) of fluids to be supplied to a fuel cell stack; and side covers(17) which are installed to cover the sides of the fuel cell stack.
