The lamp unit for a vehicle is configured such that light incident into a translucent member from a light emitting element is sequentially reflected by the inner surfaces of first and second reflecting surfaces, and then irradiated from an irradiating surface in the lamp unit forward direction. The first reflecting surface is configured by the curved surface of a substantially parabolic cylindrical shape, thereby reflecting by the inner surface thereof light from the light emitting element outward in the radial direction of an optical axis Ax 2 such that light from the light emitting element is spread along the plane including the optical axis Ax, but not orthogonal to the plane. Thus, even when the translucent member is formed in a plane plate shape, the light irradiated from the light emitting element and reflected by the inner surface of the first reflecting surface is incident into the second reflecting surface.
