Abstract
In a shift device, a shift position of a knob is altered as a result of the knob being displaced in a vertical direction, and also being rotated in one direction or in another direction. Here, the knob is disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of a supporting column. Because of this, the knob can be inhibited by the supporting column from being unnecessarily displaced downwards.
