A vehicle cooling mechanism includes a first radiator configured to cool a battery of a vehicle, a second radiator configured to cool a power conversion device that converts electric power supplied from the battery and electric power supplied to the battery, and an air guide duct portion configured to guide outside air from an opening portion provided in a front end portion of the vehicle to the first radiator and the second radiator. The first radiator is arranged above the second radiator. At least a part of the second radiator is arranged so as to overlap the opening portion as viewed from a front side of the vehicle. An upper end portion of the second radiator is positioned above an upper end portion of the opening portion. A lower end portion of the second radiator is positioned below the upper end portion of the opening portion.
