Abstract
In a vehicle door structure, a beam member () having a S-shaped cross section and extending in a fore-and-aft direction of a vehicle body is attached to an inner panel (), and the upper edge of the inner panel () is formed by the beam member (). Thereby, a crash load of a frontal crash is transmitted in a favorable manner, and energy of a side impact is adequately absorbed without incurring a cost increase or a weight increase owing to the use of the door beam.
