A tire valve unit includes a tire valve and a sensor unit. The tire valve includes a valve stem, a rubber body located on the periphery of the valve stem, and first and second axial ends. The sensor unit includes a sensor mounted on a wheel and a housing that accommodates the sensor and is secured to the tire valve. The tire valve unit is mounted on the wheel by press-fitting the tire valve into a mounting hole in the wheel from the first axial end. The body includes an opposed portion that is opposed to an inner surface of the mounting hole with the tire valve unit mounted on the wheel, a proximal end portion located closer to the second axial end of the tire valve than the opposed portion, and an attaching portion including the opposed portion and the proximal end portion. The tire valve includes an attaching projection that projects in the axial direction of the tire valve from the inside of the attaching portion toward the outside. The tire valve unit further includes a fixture that secures the attaching projection to the housing.
