A front vehicle-body structure controls inward breakage of an apron reinforcement in the event of a small overlap collision, without increasing weight. Embodiments include a pair of right and left apron reinforcements extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; and a pair of right and left hinge pillars respectively connected to rear ends of the pair of apron reinforcements. A reinforcement outer member of the apron reinforcement includes a linear portion extending in the vehicle front-rear direction from a rear end of the apron reinforcement connected to the hinge pillar to an intermediate portion of the apron reinforcement. A horizontal bead, provided as a deformation facilitating portion to facilitate deformation toward an inside of a vehicle body, is disposed on an outer surface portion positioned on a vehicle-width-direction outer side of the linear portion, the horizontal bead having a reduced longitudinal rigidity toward a front side in the vehicle front-rear direction.
