Disclosed is a distortion-compensation apparatus that can reduce the storage space for storing coefficients required for distortion-compensation calculation, and can accurately execute distortion compensation. Distortion-compensation apparatus (100) compensates for distortion of an output signal from a predetermined circuit by predistortion in which an input signal is preliminarily multiplied by a coefficient. First multiplication section (200c) of distortion-compensation apparatus (100) multiplies an input signal by a first coefficient selected from coefficient candidates in accordance with the input signal; second multiplication section (201c1 to 201cm) multiplies a delay signal of an input signal by a tap coefficient; and adding section (202) outputs a signal obtained by adding together an input signal multiplied by the compensation coefficient and the delay signal multiplied by the tap coefficient to the predetermined circuit.
