Abstract: A tailgate folding device for an automotive vehicle constructed to vertically fold a midsection of the tailgate and thereby to avoid an external lower end thereof from touching a ceiling when the tailgate is opened at a place where the ceiling is low, thus promoting an effective use of the tailgate even at a confined area. The device has a tailgate vertically foldable and dividable via a hinge point into an upper portion and a lower portion thereof, a manipulating unit mounted at a folded site of the tailgate to control folding of the tailgate, and a locking unit for adequately converting a relative rotation of the divided tailgate from a restricted state to a released state according to the operation of the manipulating unit.
