A encoding device includes a boundary pixel prediction value generation unit, boundary pixel prediction error estimation unit, and a quantized coefficient encoding unit. The boundary pixel prediction value generation unit generates a boundary pixel prediction value as a prediction value of a boundary pixel adjacent to an encoded block in the encoding block from a locally decoded image of a plurality of encoded blocks adjacent to the encoding block. The boundary pixel prediction error estimation unit generates boundary pixel prediction error estimation information from the boundary pixel prediction value and the encoding block prediction image with respect to the boundary pixel. The quantized coefficient encoding unit generates encoding block entropy encoded data from the quantized coefficients and the boundary pixel prediction error estimation information.
