A method of measuring warpage of a rear surface of a substrate includes a substrate detection step, a best fit plane calculation step, and a warpage calculation step. Further, the method of measuring warpage of a rear surface of a substrate can further includes after the substrate detection step and before the best fit plane calculation step: a noise removal step and an outer peripheral portion removal step; the outer peripheral portion removal step and a smoothing step; or the noise removal step, the outer peripheral portion removal step, and the smoothing step. Thereby, a method of measuring warpage of a rear surface with a high surface roughness of a substrate can be provided.
