A vehicle drive device comprising: a rotary electric machine that serves as a driving force source for a wheel; an input member having a first gear and drivingly connected to the rotary electric machine; a pair of output members (61, 62) each drivingly connected to the wheel; a counter gear mechanism having a second gear that meshes with the first gear and a third gear that rotates integrally with the second gear; a differential gear mechanism having a fourth gear that meshes with the third gear and distributing rotation of the fourth gear to the pair of output members (61, 62); and an inverter device that controls the rotary electric machine, characterized in that: the rotary electric machine is disposed coaxially with the input member and is disposed more toward a first side in an axial direction than the first gear, the first side being one side of the rotary electric machine in the axial direction; the third gear and the fourth gear are disposed more toward a second side in the axial direction than the first gear and the second gear, the second side being another side in the axial direction; and the inverter device is disposed more toward the first side in the axial direction than the fourth gear while being disposed at such a position that the inverter device overlaps the fourth gear as seen in an axial direction along the axial direction. a rotary electric machine that serves as a driving force source for a wheel; an input member having a first gear and drivingly connected to the rotary electric machine; a pair of output members (61, 62) each drivingly connected to the wheel; a counter gear mechanism having a second gear that meshes with the first gear and a third gear that rotates integrally with the second gear; a differential gear mechanism having a fourth gear that meshes with the third gear and distributing rotation of the fourth gear to the pair of output members (61, 62); and an inverter device that controls the rotary electric machine, characterized in that: the rotary electric machine is disposed coaxially with the input member and is disposed more toward a first side in an axial direction than the first gear, the first side being one side of the rotary electric machine in the axial direction; the third gear and the fourth gear are disposed more toward a second side in the axial direction than the first gear and the second gear, the second side being another side in the axial direction; and the inverter device is disposed more toward the first side in the axial direction than the fourth gear while being disposed at such a position that the inverter device overlaps the fourth gear as seen in an axial direction along the axial direction. the rotary electric machine is disposed coaxially with the input member and is disposed more toward a first side in an axial direction than the first gear, the first side being one side of the rotary electric machine in the axial direction; the third gear and the fourth gear are disposed more toward a second side in the axial direction than the first gear and the second gear, the second side being another side in the axial direction; and the inverter device is disposed more toward the first side in the axial direction than the fourth gear while being disposed at such a position that the inverter device overlaps the fourth gear as seen in an axial direction along the axial direction.
