A vehicle front section structure includes left and right front side frame. A deformation portion configured to undergo compression deformation in the vehicle front-rear direction at a time of head-on collision of the vehicle is provided at a front end portion of each of the left and right front side frames. Left and right front side members that support a floor section of a vehicle cabin extend along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle upper side with respect to the left and right front side frames. Front sections of the left and right front side members and the corresponding left and right deformation portions are connected by left and right coupling members. The left and right coupling members are configured so as to more readily undergo plastic deformation under collision load at a time of head-on collision than the left and right front side members.
