A retractable handle assembly of a wheeled suitcase includes a handle, a receiving element, a first tube and a second tube. The handle has two legs, each leg having an inclined end formed on a distal end thereof, a slot defined in each of the legs. The receiving element has two ends, each end has a hole defined therein for the leg inserted therethrough, each of the two ends of the receiving element, a first end of the second tube and the slot of the leg have a pin extending therethrough. There is at least one resilient element disposed between the receiving element and the handle. The first tube is fixedly received in the suitcase and at least one hole is defined in a periphery thereof, the second tube is sized to be retractably received in the first tube and has an upper hole and a lower hole defined in a periphery thereof. An upper resilient element is fixedly disposed in the second tube and biases an upper stop to insert through the upper hole and the hole of the first tube, the upper resilient element having an inclined portion corresponding to the inclined end of the leg. The second tube can be extracted out from the first tube by pushing the handle downward first to bias the inclined portion of the upper resilient element by the inclined end of the leg to disengage the upper stop from the hole of the first tube.
