Top end stops for slide fastener in which front ends of its fastener chains are opened and no wrinkle is produced by a diamond of a slider, wherein a top end stop is molded with resin such that it includes a notch portion provided on an edge portion of a pair of fastener tapes and the top end stop is formed on a top face of the notch portion; the top end stop is formed at an end portion of a coupling element row with a gap from the coupling element, and a concave portion is formed to allow a diamond of a slider to escape; and an overlapping portion that a coupling head of a mating coupling element is capable of joining is formed at a bottom end of one of the top end stops, whereby the fastener chain can be closed completely by a slider, so that specified waterproof property and water cutout performance are secured.
