A vibration isolator includes an upper coupling member to be mounted on a vibrating body, a cup-shaped holder to be mounted on a car body, and a rubber-like insulator which is located between the upper coupling member and the cup-shaped holder to isolate vibrations from the vibrating body. The vibration isolator further includes a main chamber and a subchamber, which are arranged in series with the insulator and in which a liquid, an incompressive fluid, is enclosed, an annular orifice interconnecting the main chamber and the subchamber, a partition member dividing the main chamber and the subchamber, a diaphragm which is made of a rubber membrane-like member and defines a part of the subchamber, and an air chamber formed below the diaphragm. Both the partition member and the diaphragm are entirely formed of rubber-like elastic bodies. This provides a large area for the central flexible portion of the partition member, reducing the manufacturing costs of the parts including the diaphragm.
