Provided is a rotating electric machine, including: a rotary shaft rotatably supported by a front bearing and a rear bearing; a field core firmly fixed to the rotary shaft; and a pulley fitted over the rotary shaft on one end side so as to be rotatable integrally with the rotary shaft. In the rotating electric machine, the pulley, the front bearing, and the field core are arranged in a stated order from the one end side of the rotary shaft toward another end side of the rotary shaft. The pulley is fastened to the rotary shaft with use of a male thread formed on the one end side of the rotary shaft and a nut to be mounted to the male thread. The rotary shaft has a flange portion, which projects radially outward, and is arranged to a position between the front bearing and the field core in an axial direction of the rotary shaft.
