To provide a speed indicator for a vehicle, with which a driver can easily grasp whether a current traveling speed is exceeding the speed limit.

A meter 1 is structured to include a display 2 on which a dial 40, including speed graduations 41 and speed indicating numerals 42 for indicating a vehicle speed and a pointer 43 can be drawn as an image. The dial 40 is displayed on the display 2 so that the graduations 41 are arcuate, also a speed graduation 41, corresponding to the speed limit, is located at a predetermined position on the arc, and the pointer 43 is displayed to turn in an analog manner. Since the speed limit is always displayed at the predetermined position on the arc, the driver can easily recognize the speed limit. In addition, a warning display part 44, for warning by coloring an excessive speed region exceeding the speed limit, is displayed on the dial 40, whereby the driver can further easily grasp whether the current traveling speed is in excess.
