An obstacle alert device is capable of indicating clearly presence of an obstacle approaching a vehicle to a driver, without impairing visibility of a peripheral situation of the vehicle. The device includes a photographed image acquisition section acquiring a photographed image photographing a scene in the periphery of the vehicle, a photographed-image-of-interest generation section generating a photographed image of interest based on the photographed image, a masked region setting section setting a masked region making un-displayed at least a portion of the scene of the vehicle periphery in the photographed image of interest, an object presence determination section determining whether an object is present or not in an outside region outside the photographed image of interest, a clear indication image outputting section outputting a clear indication image including a clear indication indicator clearly indicating presence of the object to be displayed at an end of the photographed image of interest on the side of the outside region where the object is present in case the object in the outside region moves to the side of a region corresponding to the photographed image of interest, and a motion image outputting section outputting an image in which the clear indication indicator becomes absorbed from the side of the masked region where the object is present in case the object in the outside region has entered the region corresponding to the photographed image of interest.
