[Problem] An objective of the present invention is to provide an input device and a multi-point load detection method with which it is possible to obtain a load at each of a plurality of pressure points which are simultaneously pressed. [Solution] This input device (1) comprises: a capacitance touch panel sensor which is capable of detecting a pressure location of each of a plurality of pressure points (A, B) which are pressed simultaneously upon a console surface (4a); a load detection sensor which is capable of detecting a center of gravity location and a center of gravity load of each pressure point (A, B); and a control unit which is capable of computing each load (z1, z2) at each pressure point (A, B) on the basis of location coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2), center of gravity coordinates (X, Y), and center of gravity load (Z), of each pressure point.
