A misfire detection device for an internal combustion engine determines the time length tx from each ignition timing, as determined by the ignition signal Se, to a predetermined angle of the crank shaft after the ignition timing as determined by the crank angle pulse signal Sd. When the difference between the current and the preceding time lengths thus determined exceeds a reference level, an occurrence of misfire is detected. Alternatively, when the difference DELTA omega d between the instantaneous angular velocities immediately after the ignition timing and a predetermined angle thereafter as determined on the basis of the crank angle pulse signal Sd is less than a predetermined reference level, an occurrence of misfire is detected.
