A multilevel symbol timing signal detector is provided, which is used for reliably detecting the symbol timing of a multilevel QAM signal. When an oversampling I signal is inputted to I-Signal Histogram Generator 610, the signal is subjected to 1-symbol length buffering by computing absolute values. Sampling times corresponding to an oversampling frequency and amplitude data for these times are extracted from the buffered data and the amplitude data is buffered for each sampling time over predetermined intervals. Histograms of the amplitude data for each sampling time are generated based on these buffered amplitude data. Symbol timing is acquired by detecting a sampling time corresponding to the amplitude data with the highest frequency of detection based on the histograms of amplitude data.
