An apparatus for correcting image distortion of a camera in a vehicle includes: a camera mounted in the vehicle; a camera characteristic extractor configured to extract camera characteristic parameters of the camera based on a preset mathematical model; a tilt angle calculator configured to calculate tilt angles of a virtual camera corresponding to the camera in each photographing region using the camera characteristic parameters; a yaw angle calculator configured to calculate yaw angles of the virtual camera in each photographing region; an image corrector configured to view-transform a photographed image photographed by the camera by adjusting angles of the virtual camera based on a correction model in order to secure a view region of the photographed image and create a corrected image depending on the view-transform; and a display configured to display the corrected image output from the image corrector.
