Embodiments of this application disclose a method and an apparatus for generating a three-dimensional face model. The method includes obtaining a plurality of target face images and a plurality of depth images corresponding to the plurality of target face images, the plurality of target face images comprising a same face; obtaining, according to an image type of each target face image, a regional face image that is in each target face image and that corresponds to the image type of each target face image, the image type comprising a front face type, a left face type, a right face type, or a head-up type; obtaining a regional depth image in a corresponding depth image according to the regional face image; and performing image fusion based on the plurality of obtained regional face images and the plurality of obtained regional depth images, to generate a three-dimensional face model.
