A driver state estimation device which can estimate a distance to a driver's head position without detecting a center position of the driver's face area in an image, includes a camera, a lighting part, and a CPU including a face detecting section for detecting the driver's face in a first image picked up at the time of light irradiation from the lighting part and in a second image picked up at the time of no light irradiation from the lighting part, a face brightness ratio calculating section for calculating a brightness ratio between the driver's face in the first image and that in the second image, and a distance estimating section for estimating a distance from the driver's head to the camera using the calculated face brightness ratio.
