A vehicle exterior environment recognition apparatus includes a computer configured to serve as a vehicle identifier, a candidate identifier, a shift amount deriving unit, a candidate remover, and a lamp determiner. The vehicle identifier identifies, from respective captured images, a preceding vehicle and a vehicle region occupied by the preceding vehicle. The candidate identifier identifies, as a light-emission source candidate, a candidate determinable as a light-emission source in the identified vehicle region. The shift amount deriving unit derives a shift amount in a predetermined period of the light-emission source candidate in the vehicle region. The candidate remover removes, from the light-emission source candidate identified by the candidate identifier, the light-emission source candidate in which the shift amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined shift amount threshold. The lamp determiner determines whether the light-emission source candidate, unremoved by the candidate remover, is a lighted lamp.
