In a vehicle body side structure, a first fragile portion that induces bending deformation toward the inside of a vehicle cabin when a load is input from the front and a second fragile portion that induces bending deformation toward an area outside the vehicle cabin when a load is input from the front are formed in an inclined region of a front pillar extending diagonally rearward and upward from a front end portion of the front pillar toward a roof side rail. The first fragile portion is positioned in front of the second fragile portion.
