A battery module includes a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; a module frame accommodating the battery cell stack; an end plate positioned on a front surface and a rear surface of the battery cell stack; and a heat sink positioned under a bottom portion of the module frame. The bottom portion constitutes the upper plate of the heat sink. The module frame includes a first module frame protruded part and a second module frame protruded part formed by protruding a part of the bottom portion, and the first module frame protruded part and the second module frame protruded part are positioned to be spaced apart from each other. A welding part where the end plate and the module frame are welded is positioned between the first module frame protruded part and the second module frame protruded part.
