A vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus includes a camera, an electronic control unit and a display unit configured to display the display image. The ECU is configured to generate a display image of an external environment based on image information from the camera such that the display image includes a first display image from a first predetermined viewpoint from which one of right and left side surfaces of a host vehicle and a rear portion or a front portion of the host vehicle are obliquely seen from above. The ECU is configured to generate and output the display image including the first display image in at least any one of a predetermined first traveling status of the host vehicle, a predetermined periphery status of the area on either side of the host vehicle, and a state in which a turn signal lever is manipulated.
