A parallel data transfer circuit wherein processing at a data transfer source circuit is simplified to reduce the time required for transfer and a data storage area of a data transfer destination circuit can be used effectively is disclosed. A plurality of data register sets for temporarily latching parallel data and a plurality of corresponding flag register sets are provided between a data transfer source circuit and a data transfer destination circuit. A register designation signal is outputted from the data transfer source circuit to designate a data register into which data should be written. Only when data should be written into the data register, a flag is placed into a corresponding flag register. Since the data transfer destination circuit fetches data only of those data registers corresponding to those flag registers in which a flag is held, parallel data can be received without forming a discontinuous empty portion in data storage area of the data transfer destination circuit.
