A deflector structure of an automobile includes: a liner extended portion covering a lower-surface opening located at a front side of a wheel housing; and a deflector attached to the liner extended portion. The deflector is integrally configured by: a deflector base portion attached to the liner extended portion through a bolt and a resin clip; and a plate-shaped deflector main body extending from a rear end of the deflector base portion to a vehicle lower side and having flexibility and a thickness in a forward/rearward direction. A plurality of rear-surface ribs each extending in an upward/downward direction are formed on a rear surface of the deflector main body at predetermined intervals in a width direction, upper ends of the rear-surface ribs being in contact with a lower surface of the liner extended portion.
