<p>A turn signal switch for a vehicle includes: a resiliently urging means (32) provided between a switch operating element (26) and a switch case (25) so as to urge the switch operating element (26) toward a neutral position and a returned position. The resiliently urging means (32) includes: a return plate (45) having a guide recess (48) which is provided at one end and against which abuts a first pin (47) provided on the switch operating element (26), the return plate (45) being slidably supported on the switch case (25); a pair of return springs (46) exhibiting spring forces for urging the return plate (45) in a direction to bring the pin (47) into abutment against the guide recess (48). The guide recess (48) is curved into a substantially triangular shape, and includes a valley (50) and return cam faces (51,52) on opposite sides of the valley (50). The return springs (46) are provided on opposite sides of the valley (50) and between the return plate (45) and the switch case (25). Thus, it is possible to reduce the length of the turn signal switch in the direction of push-in/return of the switch operating element.
