A heat exchanger includes a tube expansion portion provided on a heat transfer tube such that an outer peripheral surface of the heat transfer tube is pressed against an inner peripheral surface of a first hole provided in a side wall portion of a case, and a first concave surface portion that is provided in a part of an outer surface of the tube expansion portion and forms a first gap, into which brazing material of a first brazed portion advances, between the outer surface of the tube expansion portion and the inner peripheral surface of the first hole. Thus, the attachment strength of the heat transfer tube can be improved by means of a simple configuration.
