A brake lever support structure includes: a brake lever movable between a working position at which a parking brake of an off-road vehicle works and a cancel position at which the parking brake is cancelled; and an interior panel defining an inner surface of a cabin of the off-road vehicle. The brake lever extends from inside of the cabin to outside of the cabin through the interior panel. The interior panel includes a stopper that contacts the brake lever at the cancel position to restrict movement of the brake lever.
