A biological information acquisition device includes: a light emitting unit which casts light on a living body； a plurality of light receiving units which receives the light transmitted through the living body； and a control unit which controls the light emitting unit and the light receiving units. The control unit causes the light emitting unit to emit light as a measurement light emitting unit, causes a plurality of measurement light receiving units spaced apart from the measurement light emitting unit by a first distance, of the plurality of light receiving units, to receive the light cast from measurement light emitting unit and thus acquires a plurality of light receiving results, and acquires biological information using a first light receiving result with a highest light reception intensity and a second light receiving result with a lowest light reception intensity, of the plurality of light receiving results.
