An abnormality detecting device for an evaporative fuel processing system is disclosed. The evaporative fuel processing system includes a fuel tank, a canister for trapping evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, a charging passage for connecting the fuel tank and the canister, an on-off valve provided in the charging passage for opening and closing the charging passage, and a pressure sensor provided in the charging passage at a position between the on-off valve and the fuel tank. A pressure in the canister is reduced to a pressure which is lower than the atmospheric pressure in the condition where the on-off valve is open. The on-off valve is closed at the time of completion of the pressure reduction, and it is determined that the charging passage is clogged between the pressure sensor and the fuel tank, when an amount of change in pressure detected by the pressure sensor is less than a predetermined change amount after closing the on-off valve.
