An object detection apparatus detects an object present around an own vehicle by using a radar device and an imaging device. The object detection apparatus includes a type recognition section that recognizes a type of the object, based on an image captured by the imaging device, and a distance calculation section that calculates a distance to the object in a case where a single object is detected as the object by the imaging device and the radar device and where the object is recognized to be a bicycle by the type recognition section. The distance in this case is calculated taking account of a positional displacement between a front or rear end of the bicycle, whichever is nearer to the own vehicle, and a detection point on the object obtained through search waves transmitted from the radar device.
