In a vehicle parking lock mechanism, a parking pawl mechanically hinders rotation of the parking gear by being engaged with the parking gear. A lock member is moved to the lock position to establish a parking lock state in which the parking pawl hinders rotation of the parking gear. The support member includes a guide portion configured to guide movement of the lock member between the lock position and the unlock position while restricting the lock member from displacing in a direction away from the parking pawl. The stopper is rotatably mounted to either one member of the lock member or the support member, changes a posture in accordance with relative movement between the lock member and the support member, and protrudes toward the other member side of the lock member such that the stopper establishes a protruding posture in the parking lock state.
