A medical image display apparatus according to an embodiment includes a display unit, a generating unit, and a display controlling unit. The display unit three-dimensionally displays a group of disparity images generated from three-dimensional medical image data. The generating unit determines a display position of the group of disparity images to be three-dimensionally displayed on the display unit in terms of a depth direction with respect to a display surface of the display unit and generates the group of disparity images from the three-dimensional medical image data so as to realize the determined display position. The display controlling unit three-dimensionally displays the group of disparity images and two-dimensionally displays a medical image different from the group of disparity images, on the display unit.
