Provided are a hinge assembly (3) for a refrigerator, and refrigerator having the same. The hinge assembly (3) comprises: a first slidable stopper portion (31) and a second slidable stopper portion (32) which are coaxially arranged and provided with N first arc-shaped protrusions (311a) and N+M first accommodating recesses (321a) on abutting end surfaces thereof, respectively, the structures thereof being consistent. When a door member (2) is closed, the N first arc-shaped protrusions (311a) are disposed offset from first accommodating recesses (321a) respectively corresponding thereto, in which central angles corresponding to the offset displacements are identical. When the door member (2) opens to a first angle, at least one of the first arc-shaped protrusions (311a) is completely nested in a corresponding first accommodating recess (321a).
