PURPOSE: A radiator for a fuel cell powered vehicle is provided to minimize a space, in which a 3-way valve and pipes are occupied, in flow structure of heat exchange water prepared in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. CONSTITUTION: A radiator for a fuel cell powered vehicle comprises a tube(410), an upper tank(420), a lower tank(430), a bypass tube(440), and a valve(450). The multiple tubes are placed side by side. The upper tank is coupled with the upper end of the tubes, and an inlet port(422) is formed on one side thereof. The lower tank is coupled with the lower end of the tubes and comprises an outlet port(455). The bypass tube connects to the upper tank and the lower tank. The valve is operated to select the flow path of the tank and the bypass tube. The bypass tube is placed at the end of the upper tank and the lower tank with being separated from the tube.
