There are provided an image evaluation apparatus, an image evaluation method, and an image evaluation program capable of highly evaluating an image having an impression of a user's preference. A plurality of images included in a first image group are input to an image evaluation apparatus (step 21). A plurality of representative image candidates are displayed (step 22), and the user selects a desired representative image from the representative image candidates (step 23). The difference between the impression value of the representative image and the impression value of the input image is calculated (step 24), and the image quality of the input image is determined (step 25). An image evaluation value is calculated so as to become higher as the difference between the impression values becomes smaller and the image quality becomes higher (step 26).
