A seat reclining device for a vehicle is configured such that an operating surface section and a projection of a pole are disposed at locations separate from each other along the radial direction of a body surface section, and are half-punched from the body surface section in one direction along the axial direction so as to form projections. A pressed surface section of the pole is provided on an edge surface of the body surface section formed on the other side in the axial direction of the operating surface section along with the half-punched projection of the operating surface section.
