To provide a glove box that can cause an inner case to operate to open obliquely downward while suppressing large change in the center of gravity in the up-down direction. A mechanism for guiding opening/closing operation of the inner case in the glove box is composed of two types of mechanisms: i.e., a slide mechanism including a guide shaft and a slide guide portion; and a link mechanism including a link member. The inner case is guided in the front-rear direction by the slide mechanism, and a rear portion of the inner case is guided so as to swing downward by the link mechanism.
