An aircraft wing load alleviation device is to be provided to an aircraft having a body, a main wing, and an elongated supporting member with an end fixed to the body and another end fixed to the main wing to support the main wing. The aircraft wing load alleviation device alleviates a load acting on the main wing, and includes a load detector, an actuator, and a controller. The load detector detects the load acting on the main wing. The actuator is provided to the supporting member and applies a load in a longitudinal direction of the supporting member. The controller controls, when the load acting on the main wing is detected, operation of the actuator to make the actuator apply the load to the supporting member in a direction opposite to a direction of a load applied on the supporting member as a result of the detected load.
