Abstract
A vehicle body front structure includes: a damper base to which a damper is fixed; a damper housing surrounding the damper base and extending downward along a periphery of the damper base; a front side frame extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and joined to a lower end portion of the damper housing, and a reinforcing member connecting the damper base to the front side frame in a vertical direction. The reinforcing member has a vertically elongated shape with a hat-shaped cross section and has a joint flange corresponding to a periphery portion of the cross section. The joint flange is joined to a side surface of the damper housing. The damper housing and the reinforcing member define a closed cross section whose cross-sectional area increases in a downward direction. The joint flange has an upper end portion joined to an upper surface of the damper base and has a lower end portion joined to an upper surface and a side surface of the front side frame.
