A die-cast aluminum bracket for a vehicle is provided between a mounted object and a vehicle structure. The die-cast aluminum bracket includes: a first attachment section configured to be coupled to the mounted object; and a second attachment section configured to be coupled to the vehicle structure, wherein a first surface, which faces the mounted object at the time when the mounted object is coupled, in the first attachment section has a chill layer removed section in which an internal layer of the bracket is exposed, and a second surface of the first attachment section has a chill layer, the second surface being on an opposite side of the first attachment section from the first surface.
