A receiving device that converts, to a digital signal, a signal in which signal light from an optical transmission path and local oscillation light are mixed, so as to perform digital signal processing, the optical communication receiving device comprising: a frequency offset compensation unit configured to calculate a frequency offset of the digital signal and to, based on the frequency offset, compensate for a phase of the digital signal; a carrier phase recovery unit configured to calculate a carrier phase of the digital signal whose phase is compensated for in the frequency offset compensation unit; anda residual frequency offset detection unit configured to calculate an average of differences in the carrier phase, and to output the average as a residual frequency offset, wherein the frequency offset compensation unit is configured to correct the frequency offset using the residual frequency offset output by the residual frequency offset detection unit.
