An armrest structure for a vehicle of the present invention comprises a first armrest to support an elbow of one of arms of a passenger seated in a seat and a second armrest to support an elbow of the other arm of the passenger. A horizontal distance Wbetween a vertically-extending seat center line of the seat and an elbow's support position at the first armrest is greater than a horizontal distance Wbetween the vertically-extending seat center line and an elbow's support position at the second armrest, and a height Hof the elbow's support position at the first armrest is greater than a height Hof the elbow's support position at the second armrest. Accordingly, the passenger's elbows can be properly supported at the armrests on both sides, in a seat width direction, of the seat.
