A motion vector decoding unit derives a motion vector of a prediction block subject to decoding on the basis of a motion vector of a candidate block included in candidate blocks selected from neighboring blocks. The motion compensation prediction unit performs motion compensation prediction using the derived motion vector. In case a motion vector number of a first block and a motion vector number of a second block are identical with each other, the motion vector decoding unit determines whether or not to set the second block as a candidate block in accordance with whether or not a reference index indicating a reference picture that the motion vector of the first block refers to and a reference index indicating a reference picture that the motion vector of the second block refers to are identical with each other.
