Provided is an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus capable of synchronizing emission of light from a light source device emitting light for generating a photoacoustic wave and reception in an ultrasound probe with high accuracy. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a sub-controller that has a synchronization signal generation unit and controls an ultrasound probe based on a first synchronization signal generated by the synchronization signal generation unit, an image generation unit that generates an ultrasound image based on a signal detected by the ultrasound probe, and a connector that has a synchronization signal line for transmitting a second synchronization signal generated in the synchronization signal generation unit and outputs the second synchronization signal to the outside through the synchronization signal line. The connector is configured such that a photoacoustic wave light source unit emitting light incident on a puncture needle having a photoacoustic wave generation unit is connectable.
