A vehicle headlamp includes a mounting portion mounted with a light source; a rotary shade for forming light distribution patterns using light from the light source, wherein the rotary shade is driven to rotate so as to select and form any one of the plurality of light distribution patterns and the rotary shade comprises a cylindrical member which extends in the direction of a rotating shaft and light distribution pattern forming portions which are disposed circumferentially at intervals on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical member; and a projection lens for projecting light which passes through the rotary shade toward the front of a vehicle. Portions of the cylindrical member located between the light distribution pattern forming portions are formed so that a vertical height of an area to which light is shone while the light distribution patterns are being switched is not higher than a predetermined height. |
