PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reinforcement structure of a pillar for a vehicle effective to an external force inputted to a central part in the vertical direction of the pillar. SOLUTION: A pillar 2 is curved in a manner that a central part 2 in its vertical direction projects outwardly of a straight line L connecting upper and lower ends 2b, 2c, and there are provided with a first reinforcement means for restraining elongation deformation of vertical endsα,βof an outside plate 2d of the pillar 2, and a second reinforcement means for restraining compression deformation of an approximately center partγin the vertical direction of the outside plate 2d. Large strength against an external force is retained according to a curved shape of the pillar 2, and curvature of the vertical endsα,βof the pillar 2 is restrained from increasing at the time of side collision by the first reinforcement means. Also, the approximately center partγin the vertical direction of the pillar 2 is restrained from curving inwardly of the compartment at the time of side collision by the second reinforcement means, so as to restrain the pillar 2 from entirely buckling and deforming inwardly of the compartment.
