Abstract: The present disclosure provides a body structure for a vehicle capable of improving a vibration damping effect by a damping member while preventing an increase in an application amount of the damping member and a shape change of a component. Embodiments include a body structure for a vehicle in which a first bonded surface of a first body component and a second bonded surface of a second body component are bonded via a damping member, with which a portion between the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface is filled. The first bonded surface of the first body component has a vertical wall extending toward the second bonded surface or away from the second bonded surface. The portion between the first bonded surface and the second bonded surface is filled with the damping member such that the damping member contacts the vertical wall.
