A1

A refrigerator according to the embodiment may include a cabinet having a storage space. The refrigerator may further include a hinge bracket that is coupled to the cabinet and has a contact surface. The refrigerator may further include a door that is rotatably coupled to a shaft provided in the hinge bracket and opens and closes the storage space. The refrigerator may further include an auto closing device that is installed on the door at a position spaced apart from a rotation center (C1) of the door and operates such that the door is automatically closed, by interacting with the hinge bracket while the door is being closed. The auto closing device may include a lever that rotates about a rotation center (C2) spaced apart from the rotation center (C1) of the door. The auto closing device may further include an elastic member connected to the lever. The auto closing device may further include a body that is installed on the door and rotatably supports the lever. The auto closing device may further include a locking member that can rotate about a rotation center (C3) spaced apart from the rotation center (C2) of the lever and is coupled to the lever in a state in which elastic forces of the elastic member are accumulated or while the door is being opened, to thereby limit the rotation of the lever.
