A support structure for an intake manifold that reduces a burden of support on a front side of the intake manifold. The support structure includes a cylinder head and a fixing structure, and supports the intake manifold. An axial length direction of a crankshaft center is defined as a left-right direction, a horizontal direction orthogonal to the left-right direction is defined as a front-rear direction, and one side in the front-rear direction is defined as a front side. The intake manifold includes a collector and a plurality of branch pipes led out to the front side from the collector. An intake outlet at a front end of each of the branch pipes is supported by the cylinder head. The collector is elastically supported by the fixing structure. A throttle body is attached to a left or right end of the collector.
