A reverse rotation preventing mechanism for a fishing spinning reel having a reel body, a rotor, and a main shaft, comprises a ratchet wheel mounted on the rotor within the forward recessed portion of the rotor, and a stop pawl selectively engaging with the ratchet wheel. The stop pawl is formed integrally with a shaft portion which passes through a wall of the reel body. The reverse rotation preventing mechanism also includes an operation member for controlling an engaging condition of the stop pawl with the ratchet wheel. The operation member is provided in the rear portion of the reel body.
