The a vehicle rear structure provided by the invention, loads can be effectively transmitted and dispersed, and sufficient endurance (rigidness) is ensured while the weight of a vehicle is prevented from increasing. The vehicle rear structure comprises a damper (126), a spiral spring (124) positioned in front of the damper (126), a separation side plate (140) substantially parallel to a seat backrest (116a) of a rear seat (116), a first reinforcement piece (156) and a second reinforcement piece (158). The first reinforcement piece (156) is vertically disposed between the separation side plate (140) and a seat surface (132), equipped with the damper (126), on the upper end of a rear wheel cover (130). The first reinforcement piece (156) is connected to the upper end of the spiral spring (124) via a predetermined component and is also connected to a separation board (138), the separation side plate (140) and the rear wheel cover (130). The second reinforcement piece (158) is vertically arranged behind the seat surface (132) of a vehicle and connected to the separation board (138) and the rear wheel cover (130).
