An insulation resistance detection circuit, detection method, and detection apparatus are provided. The circuit includes an alternating-current signal source, a resonant cavity, a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a fourth resistor, a first switch, and a second switch. The alternating-current signal source is sequentially connected to the first resistor, the resonant cavity, the first switch, the second resistor, and the third resistor in series to form a loop. The first resistor is connected to a positive electrode of the alternating-current signal source, and the third resistor is connected to a negative electrode of the alternating-current signal source. One end of the second switch is connected to a negative electrode of a to-be-detected battery, the other end of the second switch is connected to the fourth resistor, and the other end of the fourth resistor is connected to ground.
