A cooling structure for a turbine includes a plurality of disks configured to rotate integrally with blades, the disks being arranged along a rotational axis; and the disks have disk holes defined therein and arranged in a circumferential direction for supplying cooling air for cooling the blades to downstream disks. At least one of the disk holes is set such that, when a rotational direction of the disk is defined as a positive direction and a direction opposite the rotational direction is defined as a negative direction, an outlet absolute circumferential velocity vector which is a component in the rotational direction of a velocity vector of the cooling air at an outlet of the disk hole is smaller than an inlet absolute circumferential velocity vector which is a component in the rotational direction of a velocity vector of the cooling air at an inlet of the disk hole.
