Provided is a multi-joint bending structure body that makes it possible to obtain a structure capable of making a small-radius turn. The present invention comprises: a plurality of first bendable parts 9 and second bendable parts 11 that can elastically bend with respect to the axial direction; and an intermediate part 13 that is positioned between a first bendable part 9 and a second bendable part 11 which are adjacent to each other. The first bendable parts 9 and the second bendable parts 11 are provided with a flexible member 17 that is an integral body in the axial direction. The intermediate part 13 is attached to the flexible member 17 between the first bendable part 9 and the second bendable part 11 which are adjacent, and suppresses the bending of the flexible member 17 with respect to the axial direction.
