PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector engagement structure which has a good operationality in engaging and disengaging a lock member with a connector housing, improve durability of parts and reduce costs by decreasing the number of parts. SOLUTION: A flexible lock member 20 has engagement pieces 21, 22, having fit-in sections 23, 24, axially on both sides. A connector housing 11 has engagement projections 12, 13 which engage the lock member 20 with the connector housing 11 when the connector housing 11 fits in fit-in sections 23, 24 of the lock member 20. On fit-in sections 23, 24 of the engagement pieces are formed taper surfaces 23a, 24a inclined in the direction in which the fit-in sections 23, 24 of the engagement pieces separate from the engagement projections 12, 13. On the engagement projections 11, 13 are formed guide surfaces 12b, 13b which resiliently transform the engagement pieces pushing them open axially when the engagement projections 11, 13 engage with the fit-in sections 23, 24 of the engagement pieces and guide the engagement pieces to the positions where the fit-in sections 23, 24 of the engagement pieces and the engagement projections 12, 13 fit in together.
