PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waste heat utilization device for an internal combustion engine, capable of properly functioning both of a cooling water heating circuit and a Rankine cycle circuit of the internal combustion engine, according to an operation state of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The waste heat utilization device comprises a cooling water circuit 8 having a radiator 26 cooling the cooling water, and the Rankine cycle circuit 4 forming a heat exchanging area by an evaporator 8 and a heat exchanger 12, and forming an energy generating area 56 by an expansion machine 14 and a condenser 16. The Rankine circuit has bypass passages 4c, 4e bypassing the energy generating area, and a flow passage switching means forming a heat pipe path making working fluid heated by the heat exchanger flow into the evaporator by switching to the bypass passages, and heating the cooling water by the working fluid.
