The inventive fastener member, fastener structure, and support member can reduce rattling and noise without reducing the ease of assembly. The fastener member 10 includes guided portions 12A, 12B that are guided in the mounting direction D1 by guide portions 22A, 22B. Elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B formed on the guided portions 12A, 12B can elastically deform in a direction that intersects with the mounting direction D 1. When the fastener member 10 is mounted, the elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B deform elastically, so it can be easily assembled without interference between the guide portions 22A, 22B and the guided portions 12A, 12B. After it is mounted, the fastener member 10 is supported without play by the guide portions 22A, 22B of the support member 20 due to the elastic force generated between the elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B and the receiving portions 40A, 40B.
