A vehicle-interior monitoring apparatus for a vehicle includes a millimeter-wave sensor, a determiner, and a movement sensor. The millimeter-wave sensor outputs a millimeter radio wave toward a vehicle cabin of the vehicle and detects a millimeter reflection wave from an in-vehicle object including either one of an occupant and baggage in the vehicle cabin. The determiner determines a type of the in-vehicle object based on a detection level of the detected millimeter reflection wave. The movement sensor detects movement of the vehicle. The determiner re-determines that a determined in-vehicle object is either one of the baggage and a child as the occupant based on a positional change of the determined in-vehicle object upon the movement sensor detecting the movement of the vehicle, the determined in-vehicle object being the in-vehicle object of which the determiner has determined the type based on the detection level of the millimeter reflection wave.
