PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gear shift regulating structure for a work vehicle in which a gear shift regulating mechanism of a traveling gear shift lever can be compactly assembled on a control panel of a control section in a front portion of a gear shift groove and can be installed with good operability. SOLUTION: A travel speed change lever 13 arranged in a control section 3 is traveled along a forward operation path F of a lever groove 17 formed in an operation panel 12 from a low speed travel position to a highest speed travel position, and travels. A shift restriction structure for a work vehicle, which includes a restriction member 20 for restricting the operation of the maximum speed shift position of the speed change lever 13 so as to be switchable between a restriction position and a non-regulation position, wherein a flat plate is provided in front of the forward operation path F. The regulation member 20 formed of a circular plate, the rotation fulcrum shaft 21 that supports the regulation member 20 so that the regulation member 20 can be positioned and rotated, and the index display portion 22 that indicates the positioning state of the regulation member 20 are collectively arranged.
