A method and apparatus for performing a motion prediction using an inverse motion transformation are provided. The method includes generating a second motion vector by inverse-transforming a first motion vector of a second block in a lower layer, the second block corresponding to a first block in a current layer; predicting a motion vector of the first block using the second motion vector; and encoding the first block using the predicted motion vector. The apparatus includes a motion vector inverse-transforming unit that generates a second motion vector by inverse-transforming a first motion vector of a second block in a lower layer corresponding to a first block in a current layer; a predicting unit that predicts a motion vector of the first block using the second motion vector; and an inter-prediction encoding unit that encodes the first block using the predicted motion vector.
