A provided three-dimensional video encoding apparatus adaptively switches a method of setting a reference picture according to a parallax between right and left sides, thereby improving encoding efficiency. A parallax acquisition unit 101 calculates parallax information on a first viewpoint video signal and a second viewpoint video signal according to a parallax matching method or the like. A reference picture setting unit 102 determines, from the parallax information, reference picture setting information on the selection of the reference picture in the encoding of a picture to be encoded, and the allocation of a reference index to the reference picture. An encoding unit 103 compresses and encodes the image data of the picture to be encoded, according to reference picture selection information.
