A blood-pressure measuring apparatus including a cuff worn on a body portion of a subject to apply a pressure to the body portion; a changing device which changes the cuff pressure; a determining device which determines a diastolic and mean blood pressure of the subject; a detecting device which detects a cuff pulse wave as an oscillation of the cuff pressure; a pulse-wave-magnitude determining device for operating the changing device; and a systolic-blood-pressure determining device for determining a systolic blood pressure of the subject, based on the determined diastolic and mean blood pressure and the determined minimal, mean, and maximal magnitudes of the cuff pulse wave, according to a fact that the minimal, mean, and maximal magnitudes of the cuff pulse wave correspond to the diastolic, mean, and systolic blood pressure of the subject, respectively.
