A driving support apparatus includes a surrounding sensor capable of acquiring surrounding information on a three-dimensional object around a vehicle and a road marking ahead of the vehicle, and a vehicle state sensor capable of acquiring vehicle state information on multiple types of vehicle states in response to driving operation by a driver, including an AP operation amount in response to the driver's AP operation as one of the vehicle states. The apparatus further includes a control unit configured to execute deceleration assist control to assist deceleration when a predetermined start condition is satisfied, and to cancel the deceleration assist control when a cancel condition which is satisfied when the AP operation is performed during execution of the deceleration assist control is satisfied. When the cancel condition is satisfied, the control unit reduces the braking force based on the surrounding information and the vehicle state information.
