A method and apparatus for identifying back acupuncture points, and a moxibustion robot are provided, which belong to the technical field of identification of acupuncture points. The method includes: acquiring skeleton key feature points of a human body image, and identifying a plurality of back meridians on a back based on the skeleton key feature points; identifying a plurality of thoracic vertebra positions and a plurality of lumbar vertebra positions of the human body image based on the skeleton key feature points; and identifying back acupuncture points based on the plurality of thoracic vertebra positions, the plurality of lumbar vertebra positions, and the back meridians. Manual marking is not required, and the thoracic vertebra positions and the lumbar vertebra positions are used as references for the back acupuncture points.
