Provided are an apparatus and a method for detecting a scene cut frame. The apparatus and a method for detecting a scene cut frame includes an image selector configured to select input images by n image frames while shifting an input image at h frame intervals; a candidate frame detector configured to detect a candidate frame from the selected n image frames using at least one of a plurality of codecs and a plurality of scene cut detecting algorithms; and a final frame detector configured to detect a frame having a count value higher than a threshold value as a final scene cut frame by performing histogram analysis based on the detected candidate frame, wherein the h and the n are a real number greater than zero and the h is smaller than the n.
