A vehicle top mark including a base to be fixed to the body of a vehicle, a light-transmitting body that stands on the base, and a light source built into the base. The upper end of the light-transmitting body has an inclined surface that is inclined upward from the front side to the back side, so that the upward light, which passes through the light-transmitting body from the light source, is reflected to the back side of the light-transmitting body. The vehicle top mark is visible to the driver in the nighttime.
