An intake manifold M for an internal combustion engine has two or more structural members Pto Pincluding a first structural member Pintegrally provided with an inlet flangeto which a throttle deviceis connected, and an outlet flangeto be joined to a cylinder headprovided with intake ports. The first structural member Pis provided integrally with an inlet partforming at least part of an inlet passageand including the inlet flange. The outlet flangeis formed integrally with the inlet partso as to extend across a direction in which the inlet passageextends, two boltsandfor fastening the outlet flangeto the cylinder head are disposed respectively on the opposite sides of the inlet passage. The rigidity of the inlet flange and fastening of the outlet flange to the cylinder head by fastening means improves a vibration reducing effect on a throttle device joined to the inlet flange.
