Claim One:
1. An image coding method for coding an image on a block-by-block basis, the method comprising: calculating a disparity motion vector predictor for predicting a motion vector of a current block to be coded, from a motion vector of a disparity block that is a block having a relationship of disparity with the current block and located at a position corresponding to a position of the current block; selecting a motion vector predictor for use in prediction of the motion vector of the current block, from among one or more motion vector predictor candidates including the disparity motion vector predictor; and coding (i) identification information corresponding to the motion vector predictor selected from among the one or more motion vector predictor candidates and (ii) a motion vector difference that is a difference between the motion vector of the current block and the motion vector predictor.
