According to one embodiment, a pattern formation device that presses a template that includes a concave and convex part onto a transferring object and that forms a pattern in which a shape of the concave and convex part is transferred is provided. The device includes: a calculation part; an adjustment part; and a transfer. The calculation part calculates, using design information of the pattern, the distribution of force applied to the pattern at a time of releasing the template pressed onto the transferring object from the transferring object. The adjustment part adjusts forming conditions of the pattern in order to uniformly approach the distribution of force calculated by the calculation part. The transfer part transfers the shape of the concave and convex part to the transferring object according to the forming conditions adjusted by the adjustment part.
