PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a torque converter, shortening the axial size around an inner circumferential part of the torque converter by devising a structure of a stator support mechanism. SOLUTION: This torque converter 1 is provided with a front cover 2, an impeller 3, a turbine 4, a stator 5 to regulate flow of fluid flowing from the turbine 4 to the impeller 3, and a stator support mechanism 6 to support the stator to be rotatable in one direction only to a fixed shaft. The stator support mechanism 6 comprises an annular retainer 61 disposed on the engine side of a stator hub 52, an annular outer race 64 disposed on the inner circumferential side of the stator hub 52, an annular first thrust bearing 66 disposed on the transmission side of the stator hub 52, and an annular second thrust bearing 67 disposed on the engine side of the stator hub 52, and on the outer circumferential side of the outer race 64.
