A vehicle hood includes a hood outer panel and a panel-shaped hood reinforcement which is arranged at the underside of the hood outer panel. The hood reinforcement includes an integral bend which extends in the vehicle width direction to allow the hood reinforcement to bend in the front to rear direction of the vehicle in a frontal crash. A bulge formed in the hood outer panel and the bend of the hood reinforcement are so arranged that the front end of the bulge and the bend substantially coincide with each other when viewed in plan.
