PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for monitoring wheel condition capable of improving accuracy in detecting alignment deviations. SOLUTION: An action force sensor grounded to a wheel detects action forces acting on the wheel in directions in parallel with a road surface. An alignment generation force computation part 112 computes an alignment generation force generated in a grounded part of the wheel due to wheel alignment through the use of the detected action forces. An estimate value computation part 106 makes reference to a previously stored setting value of wheel alignment and computes an estimate value of the alignment generation force. An alignment determination part 116 determines the difference between the alignment generation force and the estimate value, compares the difference with a predetermined threshold value, and determines whether wheel alignment deviates from the setting value or not.
