A rubber gasket of annular shape adapted to be interposed between two objective members to be sealed and fastened to each other and a seal structure for sealing between two objective members to be sealed and fastened to each other using the gasket. The rubber gasket comprises an integrally molded body made of elastomer having a cylindrical body, a flange-shaped portion, and an annular core member, the flange-shaped portion extending outward from one end of the cylindrical body in axial direction along an entire outer circumferential surface, the annular core member being embedded in the flange-shaped portion along an entire circumference. The rubber gasket is constructed such that when the two objective members to be sealed are fastened with the rubber gasket interposed therebetween, both ends of the cylindrical body in axial direction thereof are positioned respectively at seal line portions of the two objective members to be sealed, and the cylindrical body is compressed by fastening force along fastening direction.
