Abstract: A vehicle camera mounting structure of the present disclosure is provided in a saddle-riding vehicle such as a motorcycle. The structure includes a camera which captures an image of an area in front of the vehicle and a headlamp which illuminates an area in front of the vehicle. The camera is secured to the headlamp. For instance, the camera is secured to a lower end of the headlamp. It is thereby possible to reduce the labor required to adjust the imaging direction of the camera, by allowing the camera to be oriented in alignment concurrently during an aiming process for the headlamp.
