An object recognition device to be mounted to a vehicle includes a cluster point group formation unit and an object recognition unit. The cluster point group formation unit is configured to form a cluster point group by executing clustering for a plurality of reflecting points. The object recognition unit recognizes the cluster point group as an object. The object recognition unit is configured to, in response to determining that an outer shape of an upper surface that is an outer shape of the recognized object viewed from the top has a concave section when viewed from a vehicle side, divide the cluster point group into a plurality of quasi-cluster point groups based on a position of the concave section and recognizes each of the plurality of quasi-cluster point groups as an object.
