A leaf area index measurement system includes: a reflector placed in a neighborhood of a measurement target plant; imaging means placed at a position where no obstacle is present between the imaging means and the reflector, and for capturing an image of the reflector and outputting the captured image; intensity calculation means for calculating an intensity of light reflected by the reflector, based on the captured image output from the imaging means; and leaf area index calculation means for calculating a leaf area index, based on the intensity of light calculated by the intensity calculation means.
