A shift device includes a shift switch configured to be operated in a first direction to switch to a certain shift position and a switch detector that detects movement of the shift switch in the first direction. The shift device also includes a release switch that is located at a position differing from that of the shift switch and configured to be moved between a restriction position that restricts operation of the shift switch in the first direction and a release position that allows operation of the shift switch in the first direction. The shift device shifts a shift range of a transmission to a gear mode corresponding to the shift switch when the switch detector detects the movement of the shift switch in the first direction.
