To obtain a door structure for a vehicle capable of preventing release of a door latch even receiving impact by a side face collision.
In the inner side of a door outer panel 24 in the vehicle width direction, a plate-like reinforcing member 28 is combined from a part where an outside handle 30 is attached to the lower side of the door outer panel 24. In case of a side face collision, the lower side of the door outer panel 24 is deformed to the inside in the vehicle width direction and the door outer panel 24 around the part where the outside handle 30 is attached is deformed to the outside in the vehicle width direction by the reinforcing member 28. Thus, the outside handle 30 is rotated downwards compared to a normal position directed obliquely upwards, and a connecting lever 48 is moved upwards.
