The present invention provides a handlebar locking mechanism and a handlebar locking device, each of which (i) can be used for a moving body whose traveling direction is changed with a handlebar and (ii) which makes it difficult to unlock the handlebar by a forcible method such as breaking. The handlebar locking device ( 20 ) includes an engagement hole ( 11 c ) made in a steering column ( 11 a ), a lock pin ( 31 ) which locks a handlebar ( 5 ) in a case where a pin tip part ( 31 a ) of the lock pin ( 31 ) is engaged with the engagement hole ( 11 c ), and a lock pin drive mechanism which (i) moves, in a case where the handlebar ( 5 ) is to be locked, the lock pin ( 31 ) so that the pin tip part ( 31 a ) is engaged with the engagement hole ( 11 c ) and (ii) moves, in a case where the handlebar ( 5 ) is to be unlocked, the lock pin ( 31 ) so that the pin tip part ( 31 a ) is removed from the engagement hole ( 11 c ). The engagement hole ( 11 c ), the lock pin ( 31 ), and the lock pin drive mechanism being contained and provided in a frame ( 2 ) of a bicycle ( 1 ) so as to be not viewable from outside of the bicycle ( 1 ).
