A preceding vehicle selection apparatus detects an object ahead of the own vehicle, and determines a relative position and a relative speed in relation to the own vehicle for each object ahead. Based on detection results of the object ahead, a lateral movement speed of the object ahead is determined. Based on the calculated lateral movement speed, the lateral position of the object ahead with reference to a traveling direction of the own vehicle is corrected. Based on the relative position of the object ahead of which the lateral position has been corrected, an own vehicle lane probability for each object ahead is calculated. Based on the calculated probability, a preceding vehicle from the objects ahead is selected. Based on a distance to the object ahead, the lateral position of the object ahead is corrected such that an amount of correction in the lateral position decreases as the distance increases.
