[Problem] To improve collision performance during a small overlap collision without increasing vehicle weight.[Solution] A vehicle impact absorbing structure 1 includes a side frame 20, a bumper beam 25, and an impact absorbing member 3 compressively deformed by an impact load input to the bumper beam from the front of a vehicle. The impact absorbing member has a first portion 31 and a second portion 32 that extends from a front end of the side frame toward the front of the vehicle while being inclined outward in a vehicle width direction and is joined to a beam end portion 251 of the bumper beam. At least a part of a rear end of the second portion is located on an outer side of a rear end of the first portion in the vehicle width direction, and the rear end of the first portion and the rear end of the second portion overlap a front end of the side frame in vehicle front view.
