Provided is an overcurrent detection circuit for detecting an overcurrent flowing upon turning on of a switching element, the overcurrent detection circuit including a main current detection unit configured to detect whether an input signal according to a main current is higher than or equal to a set detection threshold, and a condition control unit configured to control at least one of a waveform of the input signal in the main current detection unit or the detection threshold to control a comparison condition in the main current detection unit, in which the condition control unit is configured to set the comparison condition to a first condition during a period from the turning on of the switching element until elapse of a first period, and set the comparison condition to a second condition during a period from the elapse of the first period until elapse of a second period.
