To provide a gear change operation support device which can suppress the occurrence of an erroneous operation when moving an operation part while improving the operability of the operation part, and a vehicle.SOLUTION: A gear change operation support device for supporting a gear change operation for moving an operation part along a shift pattern which is formed of a select lane extending to a select direction, and three or more rows of shift lanes extending to shift directions, respectively, in a manual transmission comprise: a movement regulation member for regulating the movement of the operation part in the select direction; and a drive part for moving the movement regulation member according to a position of an operation start point so as to limit a movable range of the operation part in the select direction within a range from the shift lane corresponding to the operation start point of the operation part up to the adjacent shift lane.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】操作部の操作性を向上させつつ、操作部を移動させる際の誤操作が発生することを抑制することが可能な変速操作支援装置および車両を提供する。【解決手段】変速操作支援装置は、手動変速機において、セレクト方向に延びるセレクトレーンとシフト方向にそれぞれ延びる３列以上のシフトレーンとからなるシフトパターンに沿って操作部を移動させる変速操作を支援する変速操作支援装置であって、セレクト方向における操作部の移動を規制する移動規制部材と、セレクト方向における操作部の可動範囲を、操作部の操作起点に対応するシフトレーンからその隣のシフトレーンまでの範囲に制限するよう、移動規制部材を操作起点の位置に応じて移動させる駆動部と、を備える。【選択図】図１
