A vehicular imaging device includes a camera (18) for obtaining an image rearwardly of a vehicle body that is housed in a mirror housing (14) of a door mirror (13). An objective lens (18b) of the camera (18) is disposed inwardly of an outer surface of the mirror housing (14), so that rain drops or snow that flow from top to bottom on the outer surface of the mirror housing (14) due to gravity, or rain drops or snow that flow from front to rear on the outer surface of the mirror housing (14) as they are pushed by the wind produced by the running vehicle, can be prevented from becoming attached to the objective lens (18b) of the camera (18). Thus, the imaging function of the camera (18) can be maintained.
