An object of the present invention is to provide a position estimation system, a control device, a position estimation method, and a program which are capable of estimating a position of a sensor using existing lighting as it is. The position estimation system according to the present invention makes use of the fact that, when a pattern is sent from each light source at a separate frequency, the peak intensities thereof differ in accordance with a position of a sensor if the spectrum of the received signal light is plotted. That is to say, this position estimation system estimates the position of the sensor by comparing the peak intensity ratio of the spectrum when the light pattern from each light source is received and the theoretical peak intensity ratio which serves as a reference prepared in advance.
