Provided is a debris removal device capable of removing space debris of relatively large size effectively. A debris removal device 3 that removes space debris circling around a predetermined orbit about the earth, and includes: a body part 10; an adhesion part 20 to let the space debris adhere to the body part 10; a braking part 30 to generate braking force in a specific direction so as to act on the space debris adhering to the body part 10 via the adhesion part 20 during circling of the body part 10 around the orbit together with the space debris; and a timing control part 40 to control generation timing of the braking force. The timing control part 40 generates the braking force, during circling of the body part 10 together with the space debris around the orbit, when the body part 10 is located at a specific region on the orbit where a direction of the braking force is (i) substantially parallel to an orbit plane including the orbit and (ii) substantially parallel to a tangential line of the orbit, and (iii) in substantially an opposite direction of a circling direction of the space debris.
