A wave suppression structure for a fuel tank is provided in which a wave suppression member (37) disposed in the interior of a tank main body of the fuel tank is formed from a basket-shaped container (38) and cylindrical porous members (39), the basket-shaped container (38) being formed from two members, first and second half bodies (38L, 38R), two of the porous members (39) being supported in the interior of each of the first and second half bodies (38L, 38R), wherein the wave supporting member (37) is supported on a fuel suction pipe (36) by joining the first and second half bodies (38L, 38R) of the basket-shaped container (38) so as to sandwich a fuel suction pipe (36) between a through hole (38f) thereof. This enables attachment of the wave suppression member (37) to the fuel suction pipe (36) to be completed without carrying out a cumbersome operation of inserting the fuel suction pipe (36) through the through hole (38f) of the basket-shaped container (38) or the interior of the porous member (39), thereby greatly improving the ease of attachment.
