Provided are an apparatus and method for measuring a carrier-to-interference and noise ratio (CINR) using a pilot symbol in a digital communication system, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for measuring a CINR by estimating a data signal, noise, and an interference signal from a pilot symbol in a digital communication system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA). The apparatus includes: a pilot symbol acquisition unit for acquiring the pilot symbol from a baseband frequency signal; a signal estimation unit for estimating a pilot signal and a data signal from the pilot symbol; a power calculation unit for calculating a power value of the estimated data signal and calculating a power value of a noise signal from a difference between the pilot symbol and an estimated pilot signal; and a CINR calculation unit for calculating a CINR on the basis of the power values of the data and noise signals. Thus, a pilot symbol is used for more easily and precisely measuring a CINR of a received signal, and scheduling of a base station and transmission power control of a terminal are performed on the basis of the measured CINR.
