An apparatus and a method for selecting a receiver for demodulating a reception signal at a reception end having a plurality of receivers are provided. The method includes determining, a mean and a standard deviation of Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) of the receivers are determined, estimating a Doppler frequency, determining a statistical value of a modulation order of subframes received in advance, determining SNR estimation values of the receivers based on the determined mean and standard deviation of the receivers, the estimated Doppler frequency, and the determined statistical value of the modulation order of the received subframes, selecting one receiver having a largest SNR estimation value among the determined SNRs of the receivers, and demodulating a reception signal using the selected receiver.
