A flicker measuring device of the present invention: receives light emitted from an object to be measured and outputs a light reception signal corresponding to an amount of received light; acquires the output light reception signal a plurality of times from a measurement start time point to a steady time point at which the object to be measured is in a steady state, obtains a flicker value of the object to be measured for each of the plurality of times on the basis of the acquired light reception signal, and stores the flicker value obtained for each of the plurality of times in a storage in association with an acquisition time point of the light reception signal; and performs an arithmetic processing of obtaining a flicker shift time by using each flicker value stored, in which in the arithmetic processing, an amount of overall change is obtained that is an amount of change of the flicker value from the initial flicker value to the steady flicker value, a predetermined ratio time point is obtained at which an amount of change of the flicker value from the reference flicker value is a predetermined ratio of the amount of overall change, and an elapsed time between the predetermined ratio time point and the reference time point is obtained as the flicker shift time.
