An ultrasonic measurement device includes: an ultrasonic element array that has at least one reception column connected to a reception terminal, and equipped with ultrasonic elements for reception and that has at least one transmission column connected to a transmission terminal, and equipped with ultrasonic elements for transmission; a reception circuit that receives a signal from the reception terminal; and a transmission circuit that outputs a signal to the transmission terminal. The reception column and the transmission column are alternately arranged every column, or any multiple of columns in a scanning direction. The ultrasonic elements for reception and the ultrasonic elements for transmission are arranged along a orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to the scanning direction. The reception terminal is arranged at one end of the array in the orthogonal direction, and the transmission terminal is arranged at the other end of the array in that direction.
