To provide an operation detecting device for a vehicle capable of improving detection accuracy of an operation of a user.SOLUTION: A control unit of the operation detecting device comprises: a start electrode determination unit that determines a sensor electrode, in which an electrostatic capacitance C1 is equal to or larger than a first determination value C1Th, as an operation start electrode; and an operation determination unit that determines that a first operation has been executed when a sensor electrode from among a plurality of sensor electrodes, in which the electrostatic capacitance increases, sequentially switches from the operation start electrode in a first direction. The operation determination unit determines that the electrostatic capacitance of an adjacent electrode has increased when an electrostatic capacitance C2 of the adjacent electrode which is the sensor electrode that is adjacent to the operation start electrode is equal to or larger than a second determination value C2Th larger than the first determination value C1Th.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ユーザの操作の検出精度を高めることのできる車両用操作検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】操作検出装置の制御部は、静電容量Ｃ１が第１判定値Ｃ１Ｔｈ以上となるセンサ電極を操作開始電極として判定する開始電極判定部と、複数のセンサ電極のうち、静電容量が増大するセンサ電極が操作開始電極から第１方向に順に切り替わる場合に第１操作が行われたと判定する操作判定部と、を備える。操作判定部は、操作開始電極に隣り合うセンサ電極である隣接電極の静電容量Ｃ２が第１判定値Ｃ１Ｔｈよりも大きな第２判定値Ｃ２Ｔｈ以上となる場合に、隣接電極の静電容量が増大したと判定する。【選択図】図５
