The invention relates to a control device for a hybrid vehicle configured to restrain discomfortableness by reducing braking frequency of causing engine forced rotation. The control device is provided with a controller for controlling a first motor and a second motor, and the controller is configured to operate a first motor as a motor to increase torque of an output member while halting the output shaft of the engine by a brake, and to increase the deceleration torque of the second motor (step S6), if a state of charge of the battery is higher than a predetermined threshold level (in step S5) when deceleration of the hybrid vehicle is demanded (in step S1).
