Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet (10) configured to define a first storage region (2) in which food is stored, a door (20) configured to open or close the first storage region, a gasket (26) provided at the door to seal the first storage region, a first hinge (40) located at the outside of a sealing region defined by the gasket, one side of the first hinge being fixed to the cabinet and the other side of the first hinge being rotatably connected to the door and a container (100) configured to define a second storage region, the container being received in the first storage region. A second hinge (200) is located inside the sealing region, one side of the second hinge being fixed to the container and the other side of the second hinge being rotatably connected to the door. A guide unit (12) is configured to protrude into the first storage region. A fixing device (500) is provided at the container, the fixing device being selectively coupled to or released from the guide unit, wherein the first hinge and the second hinge respectively include rotating shafts and the rotating shaft of the second hinge is not arranged in an extension line of the rotating shaft of the first hinge such that a coupling portion of the container and the second hinge is drawn forward when the door is rotated independently relative to the container. The fixing device includes a push unit (550) configured to be pushed by the door and a holder (510,520) configured to fix the guide unit such that the guide unit becomes a rotation center of the container while the door is rotated and releases the push unit from a pushed state.
