An in-vehicle camera fixing structure includes a casing that supports an in-vehicle camera, and a bracket that holds the casing below. The casing includes a fulcrum rod protruding forward, and a left shaft and a right shaft supported above the casing and extending in a lateral direction. The bracket includes a fulcrum support structure that swingably supports the fulcrum rod, left and right temporary shaft placement pieces, and left and right shaft fixing structures that fix the left shaft and the right shaft in front of the left and right temporary shaft placement pieces, respectively. When the casing is directed forward and the casing is attached to the bracket, the left and right temporary shaft placement pieces guide the left shaft and the right shaft forward, and guide the left shaft and the right shaft toward the bracket.
