A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet wherein the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet comprises a base steel sheet and a hot-dip galvanized layer, a ferrite phase is, by volume fraction, 40% or more and 97% or less in a range of &#x215b; thickness to &#x215c; thickness centered at a position of &#xbc; thickness from the surface of the base steel sheet, a hard structure is 3% or more in total, wherein the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has the hot-dip galvanized layer in which Fe is 5.0% or less and Al is 1.0% or less, and columnar grains formed of a &#x3b6; phase is 20% or more in an entire interface between the plated layer and the base steel sheet on the surface of the base steel sheet in which a ratio of a volume fraction of the hard structure in a surface layer range of 20 &#x3bc;m depth in a steel sheet direction from an interface between the hot-dip galvanized layer and the base steel sheet is 0.10 times or more to 0.90 times or less of a volume fraction of the hard structure in the range of &#x215b; thickness to &#x215c; thickness, and wherein the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has a refined layer at the side of the interface in the base steel sheet, and wherein an average thickness of the refined layer, an average grain size of ferrite in the refined layer and a maximum size of the oxide included in the refined layer are defined respectively.
