An intake device for an internal combustion engine configures a flow passage for intake air that is drawn into combustion chambers. The intake device includes an intake manifold configuring multiple runners that respectively distribute intake air to multiple cylinders, a surge tank including a cavity that is connected to the runners and defines a convergence portion, a throttle body incorporating a throttle valve, and a connection pipe connecting the surge tank and the throttle body and configuring a curved flow passage extending between the throttle body and the surge tank. The connection pipe includes a partition plate that divides the curved flow passage into a circumferentially inner flow passage and a circumferentially outer flow passage.
