A system and a method for detecting misuse of the seat belt includes a sensor unit detecting an occupant seated on a seat and a seat belt and a controller detecting an occupant based on an image signal detected through the sensor unit while the seat belt is fastened, separately detecting a shoulder webbing and a lap webbing of the seat belt, and determining whether the seat belt is worn normally or abnormally based on the detected result to warn that the seat belt is abnormally worn.
