A contact detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a contact sensor, a tube holder, a deformation space, and an absorber support member. The bumper beam extends in a vehicle width direction. The absorber is disposed adjacent to the bumper beam and extends in the vehicle width direction. The contact sensor includes a pressure tube and is configured to output a signal corresponding to a change in pressure of the pressure tube. The pressure tube extends in the vehicle width direction and is held by the absorber. The tube holder has a recess that holds the pressure tube. The deformation space is opened toward a rear side of a vehicle and configured to be deformed by a pressing force to be applied to the absorber. The absorber support member is provided in a gap between the absorber and a front panel of the vehicle.
