PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a urine temperature measuring device provided with a urine temperature measuring means for measuring the temperature of the urine discharged by a person who is tested without contact, by which the temperature of the urine can be measured accurately without being affected by the heat release from the discharged urine to the surrounding atmosphere. SOLUTION: In the urine temperature measuring device provided with the urine temperature measuring means for measuring the temperature of the urine discharged by the person who is tested, the urine temperature measuring means has a light receiving element section receiving the infrared light radiated by the urine according to the temperature of the urine and detecting the temperature of the urine. The light receiving element section is formed of a plurality of light receiving elements detecting a plurality of areas, respectively, which are obtained by dividing a measurement area of the light receiving element section. The measurement area of the light receiving element section is set near a front end of a urethral tube of the person positioned in a toilet bowl space formed by buttocks of the tested person sitting on the toilet seat and the surface of the toilet bowl.
