A vehicle seat lift speed variable switch system basically has a lift-up mechanism, a control unit and an interface. The lift-up mechanism is configured to selectively lower and lift a vehicle seat between a first position inside a vehicle occupant compartment and a second position outside the vehicle occupant compartment. The control unit is configured to control lowering and lifting movements of the vehicle seat via the lift-up mechanism. The interface is configured to transmit a command signal to the control unit. The interface includes a lift switch and a lift speed variable switch. The control unit is further configured to operate the lift-up mechanism to move the vehicle seat at a predetermined speed when an input is received from only the lift switch, and at a different speed from than the predetermined speed when simultaneous inputs are received from the lift speed variable switch and the lift switch.
