    Abstract: A parking assist device capable of parking assistance that ensures high accuracy of a parking location is provided. A parking assist device that assists in performing an operation of parking a vehicle includes a parking-allowing location calculation unit that before the vehicle stops at a parking-allowing location, calculates and updates the parking-allowing location a plurality of times, and a parking route calculation unit that calculates a parking route. The parking route calculation unit sets a minimum turning radius for calculating the parking route, based on the amount of a shift between the parking-allowing location not updated and the parking-allowing location having been updated, and calculates the parking route, using the minimum turning radius. The minimum turning radius is set larger than the minimum value of a turning radius unique to the vehicle.
