In an automobile hood, sufficient panel rigidity and dent resistance of a panel are secured while achieving a weight reduction. An automobile hood 1 has a panel 2, a reinforcing member 3, and a joint 4 that joins the panel 2 and the reinforcing member 3. The reinforcing member 3 includes a structure formed from a plurality of units 7 having a hexagonal annular shape disposed in a close-packed arrangement. A floor 11 of the unit 7 has an annular end part 20. All of the annular end part 20 is located between a first circle CR1 and a second circle CR2. The first circle CR1 is inscribed within a first ridge line 31 which overlaps with an outer end part 11c of the floor 11. The second circle CR2 is concentric with the first circle CR1, and has a radius r2 that is 60% of a radius r1 of the first circle CR1. A width W1 of an upper face 11b of the floor 11 is 2 mm or more over the entire area of the annular end part 20 in the circumferential direction of the annular end part 20.
