To provide a parking assistance device for accurately detecting obstacles in the periphery of a parking zone; for detecting a parking space in which a vehicle can be parked without coming into contact with the obstacles; and for satisfactorily assisting a driving operation. The parking assistance device detects a stationary object present in the periphery of a vehicle, and assists in parking the vehicle. The parking assistance device comprises surface shape detection means (1) for detecting the surface shape information of the stationary object; shape recognition means (2) for recognizing the outline shape of the stationary object on the basis of the surface shape information; movement status detection means (6) for detecting the movement status of the vehicle; relative placement calculation means (3) for calculating the relative placement relationship of the vehicle and the stationary object on the basis of the surface shape information, the outline shape, and the movement status; and parking space detection means (4) for detecting a parking space in which the vehicle can be parked on the basis of the placement relationship.
