A dash panel supporting structure includes a center member rested on a tunnel portion of a vehicle, a bridge member connected to an upper portion of the center member, and a pair of side members configured to support both ends of the bridge member and both ends of the center member on inner portions of side pillars of the vehicle. Therefore, the tunnel portion, a cowl panel and A-pillars of the vehicle are supported by each other through the dash panel supporting structure, so that the torsional rigidity of the vehicle is improved.
