A refrigerator having a thawing function includes: a freezer chamber having a thawing chamber; an evaporator configured to generate a cold air through a heat exchange; a circulation fan configured to transmit, to the freezer chamber, the cold air generated by the evaporator; a high frequency wave generator provided at one side of the thawing chamber to generate high frequency waves in order to thaw a material to be thawed accommodated in the thawing chamber; a heat absorber configured to come in thermal contact with the high frequency wave generator to absorb heat from the high frequency wave generator; and a heat conduction member connected between the heat absorber and the evaporator to transfer heat from the heat absorber to the evaporator.
