A vehicle headlamp comprising: a light source; a reflector having a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface; a shade that is disposed to be movable between a first location and a second location, and that is adapted to shade a fraction of light from the light source and to cause remaining light to be incident to the first reflection surface, when the shade is positioned in the first location, and cause the light from the light source to be incident to the first reflection surface and the second reflection surface, when the shade is positioned in the second location; and a driving mechanism adapted to move and switch the shade between the first location and the second location, wherein the first reflection surface is a reflection surface that is provided in proximity to the light source, the reflection surface being adapted to reflect and emit incident light from among rays of the light from the light source as a light distribution pattern for low beam, and the second reflection surface is a reflection surface that is provided outside of the first reflection surface so as to be spaced from the light source, the reflection surface being adapted to reflect and emit incident light from among rays of the light from the light source as a light distribution pattern for high beam, a third reflection surface is provided between the first reflection surface and the second reflection surface, and the third reflection surface is a reflection surface adapted to reflect and emit incident light from among rays of the light from the light source as an auxiliary light distribution pattern (OSP, BP), wherein the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the third reflection surface are respectively provided on an interior face of the closed portion of the reflector, wherein the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the third reflection surface are made of a parabola-based free curved surface, characterized in that the light source is a semiconductor-type light source, and in that the third reflection surface is disposed on a straight line that connects the semiconductor-type light source and an edge of the shade to each other, when the shade is positioned in the first location, and in that between the first reflection surface and the third reflection surface and between the third reflection surface and the second reflection surface are respectively provided step heights (12, 13), and in that at the time of emission of a light distribution pattern for low beam, a fraction of light that is radiated from the semiconductor-type light source is shaded by the shade that is positioned in the first location, and a remaining light that is not shaded is reflected on the first reflection surface and the third reflection surface, and at the time of emission of the light distribution pattern for high beam, the shade positioned in the first location is moved and switched to the second location, and thereby the light shaded by the shade up to now is reflected on the second reflection surface. a light source;
