A webbing retaining structure is employed in an automatic seatbelt system for a vehicle which is so designed that one end portion of a webbing which is closer to the outside of the vehicle is moved in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the webbing is thereby automatically fastened to the body of an occupant. A first member which retains the end portion of the webbing is pivotally supported by a second member which is mounted on the vehicle body. A combination of a projection and recesses in which it is selectively fitted is provided between the first and second members. The angle at which the webbing is retained by the vehicle body can be adjusted by changing the position of combination between the projection and the recesses.
