A lamp unit of a vehicle lamp comprising: a projection lens disposed on an optical axis extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a light-emitting element disposed near the optical axis and facing upward behind a rear focal point of the projection lens; a reflector covering the light-emitting element from above that reflects light from the light-emitting element forward toward the optical axis; a mirror member disposed between the reflector and the projection lens, the mirror member comprising: an upward reflecting surface that upward reflects a portion of the reflected light from the reflector, wherein a region of the upward reflecting surface located nearer a self-lane side than the optical axis comprises a horizontal plane including the optical axis, and a front end edge formed so as to pass through a portion in the vicinity of the rear focal point of the projection lens; and a shielding projection that shields the reflected light from the reflector deflected by the horizontal plane and is disposed in a position of the horizontal plane that is apart from a front end edge of the upward reflecting surface to a rear side.
