Disclosed is a stator for a rotating electrical machine, which includes a stator core having a plurality of slots, and a plurality of coils. Each of the coils has a first inserting section and a second inserting section, which are inserted into two slots which form a pair, a first coil end, and a second coil end. The first and/or the second coil end has a twisted portion and a bent portion. The twisted portion is formed by twisting the coil end at a part close to the first inserting section. The bent portion is formed by bending, at a part close to the second inserting section, the coil end such that the coil end is laid flat.
