Provided is a vehicular meter, which can suppress the complication of structures of peripheral parts, when an operation shaft and an elastic member are to be supported, thereby to realize the cost reduction. The vehicular meter comprises: an indication element D3; a circuit board 5 arranged on the back of the indication element D3; and a manipulation mechanism S for switching pieces of information to be indicated by the indication element D3. The manipulation mechanism S includes: a switch element 11; an operation shaft 12 for activating the switch element 11; and an elastic member 13 for returning the operation shaft 12. This operation shaft 12 includes a push portion 161 for actuating the switch element 11; hook portions 171 and 172 inserted into a through hole 52 of the circuit board 5 to come into engagement with the back face of the circuit board 5; a flange portion 16 opposed to the circuit board 5. The elastic member 13 is positioned between the flange portion 16 and the circuit board 5 for biasing the hook portions 171 and 172 in a direction to abut against the circuit board 5 by its restoring force.
