Abstract
A wire harness including: a wire; a flexible outer cover covering the wire; a route regulator that has an axial direction extending along a route where the wire is routed, and that is configured to regulate the route where the wire is routed, from an outside of the outer cover; and a fixing member that is configured to fix the route regulator to the outer cover, wherein the route regulator includes an elastic deformation portion that is elastically deformable.
