A lane recognition device recognizes a lane along which a vehicle travels by detecting a lane mark provided on the road to define the lane, from an image of the road acquired via an image acquisition device mounted on the vehicle. The lane recognition device is equipped with an object detection unit which detects an object other than the lane mark existing ahead of the vehicle, and a lane mark detection unit which detects the lane mark on the basis of the data from which the area corresponding to the object detected by the object detection unit is removed. By doing so, when recognizing the lane along which the vehicle travels by detecting the lane mark from the image of the road, the recognition accuracy of the lane is improved by appropriately removing influence of the object other than the lane mark captured in the image of the road.
