An hinge module configured to pivotably couple first and second housings, includes a hinge bracket, a first rotation member coupled with the first housing and disposed on the hinge bracket pivotably or rotatably around a first folding axis, a second rotation member coupled with the second housing and disposed on the hinge bracket pivotably or rotatably around a second folding axis, a cam member on the hinge bracket to be linearly movable, and an elastic member providing elastic force to the cam member in a direction in which the first rotation member and the second rotation member are brought into close contact. The cam member is configured to press at least part of the first rotation member in a direction crossing the first folding axis or at least part of the second rotation member in a direction crossing the second folding axis based on elastic force of the elastic member.
