An objective of the present invention is to provide a deployable structure which enables an element even with high rigidity to be folded. A deployable structure (1A) includes a pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) and a connecting element (4A), wherein the connecting element (4A) connects the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) so as to be freely deformable between a folded state and a deployed state, with corners (307) of the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) being in contact with each other on their front faces (301) on one side in a thickness direction of the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A), wherein the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) extends in parallel to a predetermined plane xy in the folded state and perpendicular to the predetermined plane xy in the deployed state. Ends of the front faces (301) of the belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) are connected to the connecting element (4B) via first bent portions (5) which are bendable along the ends. Lateral faces (303, 304) of the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) have second cutouts (308) which avoid an interference of the pair of belt-shaped elements (3A, 3A) in the deployed state.
