A closing device for a filler port comprises an inlet box configured to form the filler port; a lid configured to rotate about a first rotating shaft that is fixed to the inlet box, such as to open and close a surface of the inlet box; and a fuel passage-forming portion configured to form a fuel passage. The lid includes a plate-like lid main body portion configured to rotate about the first rotating shaft, and an open-close mechanism provided on an inner side of the lid main body portion as a separate body from the lid main body portion and configured to be rotatable about the first rotating shaft such as to open and close an opening. When the lid is opened from a closed position, the lid main body portion and the open-close mechanism are opened integrally. This configuration suppresses dirt or the like adhering to a surface of the open-close mechanism for the filler port from entering a fuel tank.
