In a vehicle bottom structure, a floor panel to which a cross member is fixed is connected to a rocker inner which is a skeleton member. The floor panel and the rocker inner are sealed from a lower side by a lower seal member, but a region near the reinforcement member is a lower non-sealed part which cannot be sealed. Further, the floor panel and the rocker inner are sealed from an upper side by an upper seal member, but a region near the cross member is an upper non-sealed part which cannot be sealed. On respective sides of the upper non-sealed part, connecting seal members are provided, so that the lower seal member and the upper seal member are connected and a waterproof line is formed.
