An object detection apparatus includes a radar apparatus, an image capture device, a radar-detection target position detection section, and an image-detection target position detection section. In the apparatus, it is determined that the radar-detection target and the image-detection target are identical when a positional relationship between the targets corresponds to a predetermined relationship. Mitigation control for mitigating a collision between the own vehicle and an identical target is executed when the radar-detection target and the image-detection target are determined to be identical and the distance between the own vehicle and the identical target is smaller than a predetermined distance. Execution of the mitigation control is prevented from being executed, when the distance between the radar-detection target and the image-detection target has increased or decreased monotonically for an interval longer than a predetermined interval.
