A one-way clutch has an inner ring, an outer ring concentrically arranged in relation to the inner ring with an annular space defined therebetween, a clutch mechanism disposed in the annular space, and an end bearing disposed adjacent one of opposite ends of the clutch mechanism as viewed in the direction of a central axis of the inner ring so that the end bearing serves to guide the clutch mechanism. An end plate is arranged on a side of an outer wall of the end bearing. The end plate comprises a substantially ring-shaped thin plate and is fixed with a radially outer circumferential portion thereof maintained in close contact with an end face of the outer ring or the outer wall of the end bearing. A radially inner periphery of the end plate extends approximately to or beyond an area of sliding contact between the end bearing and the inner ring, whereby an oil-collecting pocket having an opening is defined between the end plate and the end bearing or an end face of the inner ring. A lube oil scattered under centrifugal force from a side of the inner ring is caught through the opening and is collected in the oil-collecting pocket.
