Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet which has a storage space; a door which opens and closes the storage space; a hinge which rotatably connects the cabinet and the door; and a damping device which is provided on the door and provides a damping force through oil resistance, in which the hinge is in contact with the damping device while the door is rotated in the closing direction and causes the stroke of the damping device to increase to slow down the door.
