A target substance detection method for detecting a target substance in a specimen, comprises the steps of contacting with a specimen a target substance detecting element comprised of a base, a metal structure and a first capturing body for capturing a target substance; contacting with the target substance detecting element a labeling material comprised of a labeling substance and a second capturing body for capturing a target substance; and acquiring an absorption spectrum (A) of the target substance detecting element contacted with the specimen and the labeling material, wherein the employed labeling substance is a substance that a slope of a tangent of an absorption spectrum (C) of the labeling substance at a peak wavelength (λz) of an absorption spectrum (B) of the target substance detecting element is larger than zero.
