This roadside object detection device detects roadside objects using multiple captured images, and is characterized by being provided with: a height information detection means which analyses multiple captured images to detect height information of an imaging target in a near-field area having a distance from the vehicle less than a threshold value; a height change detection means which, from the height information in the near-field area, detects changes in the height of the road surface due to the roadside object; a feature point extrapolation means which determines, as feature points of the roadside object, the positions where changes in height were detected, and extrapolates these feature points in accordance with a road model into a far-field region having a distance from the vehicle greater than or equal to the aforementioned threshold; and a roadside object detection means which sets a search area for the roadside object on the basis of an imaginary line obtained by the feature point extrapolation means extrapolating the feature points, and from said search area detects the roadside object in the far-field region.
