Abstract: A refrigerator comprises: a cabinet including a storage space; a hinge bracket coupled to the cabinet; a door which is rotatably coupled to a shaft included in the hinge bracket and opens/closes the storage space; and an auto-closing device installed at the door in a position spaced apart from the center line of rotation of the door, the auto-closing device operating such that same acts with the hinge bracket while the door is being closed, thereby causing the door to automatically be closed. The auto-closing device may include a lever and an elastic member for elastically supporting the lever. The hinge bracket may include a contact surface which is brought into contact with the lever while the door is being closed. The contact surface may be formed such that, with reference to the front surface of the cabinet, while a contact part of the lever moves along one portion of the contact surface, the contact part approaches the front surface of the cabinet, and, while the contact part moves along another portion of the contact surface, the contact part becomes more distant from the front surface of the cabinet.
