Abstract: There is provided a scattered light signal measurement apparatus and an information processing apparatus that are capable of performing accurate measurement while preventing noise due to changes in relative velocity and relative position caused between a sensor and an observation target. The scattered light signal measurement apparatus includes a light receiving element and an incident angle limiting unit. The light receiving element receives scattered light obtained when coherent light emitted to a measurement target is scattered by the measurement target. The incident angle limiting unit limits an incident angle of the scattered light that is incident on a single point of the light receiving element to be equal to or smaller than a predetermined angle and controls the single light receiving element to increase an aperture ratio.
