<p>The disclosed refrigerator is provided with: a storage case (53) in part of a refrigeration compartment (26); a plurality of door pockets (64), above the storage case (53), in a refrigeration-compartment door (28); and a gap formed by part of the door pockets (64) and the front surface (53a) of the storage case (53). Cold air (41) leaving a side vent (45) of a refrigeration-compartment duct (40) is blocked by the gap (65) formed by the front surface (53a) of the storage case (53) and the bottom (64b) of a door pocket (64a) in the refrigeration-compartment door (28). By decreasing the amount of cold air (41) that infiltrates below the refrigeration-compartment door (28), the amount of heat exchange between cold air (41) near the bottom of the refrigeration-compartment door (28) and heat infiltrating from outside air is decreased.</p>
