An electronic sphygmomanometer includes a cuff that can be worn at a measurement site, a pressure adjustment unit that adjusts the pressure applied inside the cuff a pressure detection unit that includes multiple pressure sensors and that detects the cuff pressure inside the cuff based on pressure information output from the pressure sensors, a blood pressure calculation unit that calculates a blood pressure based on change in the cuff pressure detected by the pressure detection unit during blood pressure measurement, a keeping unit that keeps the cuff pressure at a predetermined pressure using the pressure adjustment unit during blood pressure measurement, and a sensor abnormality detection unit that, in a state in which the keeping unit keeps the cuff pressure at the predetermined pressure, detects whether an abnormality has occurred in the pressure sensors based on the pressure information output from the pressure sensors.
