An exhaust gas analysis device analyzes exhaust gas generated when fuel is combusted. This exhaust gas analysis device includes a first analyzer that measures a concentration of a component to be measured in the exhaust gas, a second analyzer that measures a concentration of COin the exhaust gas, a storage portion that stores a hydrogen/carbon ratio, which is a ratio between hydrogen and carbon composing the fuel, or an input receiving portion that receives an input of the hydrogen/carbon ratio, a moisture concentration estimating portion that, based on the measured COconcentration and on the hydrogen/carbon ratio of the fuel, estimates a concentration of moisture in the exhaust gas, and a correcting portion that, based on the estimated moisture concentration, corrects the measured concentration of the component to be measured.
