Collision avoidance assist control is appropriately executed by appropriately selecting detected targets while processing load is reduced. A collision avoidance assist apparatus includes: a front-and-lateral target information acquisition device (13L, 13R) configured to acquire front-and-lateral target information; a vehicle information acquisition device (14, 15, 16) configured to acquire vehicle information including a vehicle speed and at least one of a yaw rate or a steering input value; and a control unit (10) configured to execute, as collision avoidance assist control, at least one of warning control or automatic braking control when a target satisfies a collision condition that is satisfied when a collision risk is determined to exist based on the front-and-lateral target information. The control unit selects targets that satisfy a predetermined selection condition from targets included in the front-and-lateral target information, determines whether the collision condition is satisfied for each of the selected targets, determines, when this determination is to be made, whether an own vehicle is turning based on the vehicle information, and changes the predetermined selection condition between a case in which the own vehicle is not turning and a case in which the own vehicle is turning.
