A blood pressure measurement device corrects the error caused by blood congestion. The device includes a blood pressure measurement section that calculates a blood pressure value of a patient based on the cuff pressure and pulse waves detected by a pressure sensor, a blood congestion determination section that determines a degree of blood congestion that occurred at a peripheral side of the measurement location due to the cuff pressure on the measurement location in accordance with a predetermined method, a blood pressure correction section that calculates a corrected blood pressure value based on the degree of the blood congestion, and a display that displays the corrected blood pressure value.
