A stereoscopic ultrasonic imaging apparatus for displaying in a short time an ultrasonic image giving a sense of perspective. The apparatus comprises: two two-dimensional ultrasonic receiving element arrays arranged a predetermined distance apart; an orthoscopic image generation unit for generating a plurality of orthoscopic images of an observed surface perpendicularly intersecting an ultrasonic beam applied, the orthoscopic images having a predetermined parallax therebetween and generated on the basis of received ultrasonic data obtained by the element arrays; and a stereoscopic display unit for displaying stereoscopically the orthoscopic images generated by the orthoscopic image generation unit.
