Provided is a door latch device for an automobile, the door latch device being configured so that a latch is not held at a partially latched position when opening a door and so that the door latch device is compact. A door latch device for an automobile is provided with: a latch (7) rotatably supported by a first shaft (11) and capable of engaging with a striker (S); a pawl (8) rotatably supported by a second shaft (12) and capable of holding the latch (7) at a fully latched position or a partially latched position; a memory lever (10) rotatably supported by a third shaft (13) so as not to axially overlap the latch (7) and the pawl (8) and configured so that, when the pawl (8) is rotated in a release direction while the latch (7) is located at the fully latched position, the memory lever (10) is capable of holding the pawl (8) at a release position at which the pawl (8) is incapable of being held at the fully latched position or the partially latched position; and a release section (77) which, when the latch (7) is rotated from the fully latched position to an open position and is located in the range between the partially latched position and the open position, releases the pawl (8) held at the release position and allows the pawl (8) to rotate to an engagement position. |
