To provide a driving support device that can execute driving support control at an appropriate support level, depending on whether a driver visually recognizes a display object or not.SOLUTION: A vehicle driving support device comprises: a front side camera 32 and an image processing ECU 13 which detect a display object existing in front of a vehicle 100; and a driving support ECU 15 that, when the front-side camera 32 and the image processing ECU 13 detect the display object, executes driving support control of supporting a driver. The driving support ECU 15 increases a support level of the driving support control when the driver is not executing driving operation of bringing a travelling state of the vehicle 100 close to a state matching display contents of the display object in comparison with when the driver is executing the driving operation of bringing the travelling state of the vehicle 100 close to the state matching the display contents of the display object.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】運転者が表示物を視認したか否か応じて適切な支援レベルの運転支援制御を実行できる運転支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両１００の前方に存在する表示物を検出する前方カメラ３２及び画像処理ＥＣＵ１３と、前方カメラ３２及び画像処理ＥＣＵ１３によって表示物が検出されると運転者を支援する運転支援制御を実行する運転支援ＥＣＵ１５とを有し、運転支援ＥＣＵ１５は、運転者により車両１００の走行状態を表示物の表示内容に適合する状態に近づける運転操作が実行されていない場合には、運転者により車両１００の走行状態を表示物の表示内容に適合する状態に近づける運転操作が実行された場合に比較して、運転支援制御の支援レベルを高くする。【選択図】図２
