A deflector device for a vehicle includes an upper frame arranged along the front edge of an opening formed in the roof of the vehicle, and a mesh member coupled to the upper frame and fixed at the front edge of the opening. The upper frame is raised and lowered with respect to the roof in accordance with the opening and closing operation of a movable panel, which opens and closes the opening. The mesh member is changed between a deployed state and a stored state in accordance with the raising and lowering of the upper frame. The upper frame includes a front end in the vehicle front-rear direction and a coupling position to which the mesh member is coupled. The upper frame includes a protrusion between the front end and the coupling position.
