A vehicle lower structure prevents damage to an undercover caused by interference with a road surface, and includes an undercover that covers the bottom surface of the vehicle body on the front side of a pair of front wheels and between the pair of front wheels. The undercover includes a movable panel, a fixed frame, and a deformable member, the movable panel being movable in an up-down direction, the fixed frame being disposed above the movable panel and fixed to the bottom surface of the vehicle body, the deformable member being deformable and coupling a front end portion of the movable panel to the fixed frame. The deformable member is made of a material softer than the material of the movable panel, and is configured such that, when the movable panel interferes with a road surface, the deformable member is deformed, thereby allowing the movable panel to move upward.
