In this paper, we have analytically investigated $p$-wave holographic superconductor in the framework of massive gravity in the probe limit. We obtained the analytical expressions for the critical temperature, the value of the condensate operator, and the difference of the free energy between the superconductor and normal phases. We studied the behavior of these quantities in the presence of graviton mass, which is found to be dependent crucially on the sign of the massive gravity couplings. For the (negative)positive massive gravity couplings, the critical temperature becomes (lower)higher and the condensate value gets (larger)smaller with increasing the coupling amplitude and graviton mass. This fact corresponds to that the superconductor phase is (more)less thermodynamically favored.
