Provided is a lubricating oil supply mechanism for an engine, the lubricating oil supply mechanism not requiring a space above a cam cap. A lubricating oil supply mechanism for an engine (1) supplies lubricating oil to the cams (cam (40a) and cam (42a)) of a valve gear mechanism (30) through a cylinder head (10), through cam shafts (air intake-side cam shaft (40) and exhaust-side cam shaft (42)), and through a cam cap (50). The lubricating oil supply mechanism is provided with an oil supply member (100) provided to the cam cap (50) so that the upper end of the oil supply member (100) is located at or below the level of the upper end of the cam cap (50) in the height direction, and the lubricating oil supply mechanism has formed therein oil passages (first oil passage (124), second oil passage (126), and third oil passage (128)) for guiding lubricating oil, which is supplied through the cam cap (50), to the cam (40a) and to the cam (42a). |
