To provide a bearing structure in which cost can be reduced by saving waste of raw material plates and waste of creation steps, the bearing structure including a flange on the end face of a bushing, and a method of manufacturing bearing structure.

A bearing structure 1 is configured to support a shaft and includes: a bushing 2 that is a cylindrical metal member; a housing 3 into which the bushing 2 is press-fitted; and a flange 4 that is a metal member. The flange 4 is constituted of a plurality of plate-like members 21, 21 which are formed in a circular arc shape, the plurality of plate-like members 21, 21 are disposed in an annular shape on the end face of the bushing 2 and fixed to the end face of the bushing 2 with a gap interposed between the plate-like members 21 and 21, and a groove 31 is constituted of the gap, the end face of the bushing 2 and the end face of the housing 3.
