An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio variation abnormality detection apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus determines imbalance of an air-fuel ratio among the cylinders based on a difference between index values correlated with crank angular velocities detected in a set of opposite cylinders belonging to different banks and having crank angles different from one another by 360°; and carries out an air-fuel ratio feedback process for controlling an amount of injected fuel for each of the banks, wherein the apparatus comprises a correction unit correcting, before determining the air-fuel ratio imbalance, the difference between the index values in a direction of combustion improvement for opposite cylinders that are opposite to cylinders belonging to a bank identical to a bank of a cylinder with the most deviating index value from a standard value among all the cylinders and being other than the cylinder with the most deviating index value.
