A vehicle external environment recognition apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes a position calculation processor, a three-dimensional object determination processor, an identification object identifying processor, and a vehicle tracking processor. The position calculation processor calculates three-dimensional positions of respective blocks in a captured image. The three-dimensional object determination processor groups the blocks to put any two or more of the blocks that have the three-dimensional positions differing from each other within a predetermined range in a group and thereby determines three-dimensional objects. The identification object identifying processor identifies a preceding vehicle relative to the vehicle and a sidewall on the basis of the three-dimensional objects. The vehicle tracking processor estimates a future position of the preceding vehicle to track the preceding vehicle. The vehicle tracking processor determines whether or not the preceding vehicle identified by the identification object identifying processor corresponds to a portion of the sidewall.
