To provide a direction indicator of a compact design effective to secure brightness and visibility during the blinking operation of the direction indicator, the direction indicator (9 or 11) includes an indicator body (92) adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body structure (FR), a lens member (93) mounted on the indicator body (92), a light emitter (12) and a reflector (13) positioned inwardly of the lens member (93), the reflector (13) reflecting an illuminating light, emitted from the light emitter (12), towards an intended area. A plane of joint (92b, 93b) between the indicator body (92) and the lens member (93) is inclined relative to a widthwise direction of the vehicle body structure (FR), and the lens member (93) has a laterally outer vertex portion (93a) protruding laterally outwardly from a position of a laterally outer vertex portion (92a) of the indicator body (92).
