The invention provides a vehicle control device capable of determining a driver's intention to intervene in steering. An ECU (40) includes a deviation calculating circuit, an assist control circuit, an automatic steering control circuit including an intervention determination switching circuit, an adder (42), a current command value calculating circuit, and a motor control signal calculating circuit. The intervention determination switching circuit includes a count amount calculating circuit, an adder (83), an immediately-preceding count amount output circuit, a switching determination circuit, and an output switching circuit. The count amount calculating circuit calculates a count amount having a positive value or a negative value based on a steering torque absolute value th calculated byan absolute value switching circuit. The adder calculates a total count amount Ca that is the total sum of a presently calculated count amount C and an immediately-preceding count amount Co calculated in an immediately-preceding calculation cycle. The switching determination circuit determines a driver's intention to intervene in steering, based on whether the total count amount Ca is equal to orgreater than a count amount threshold value Tc.
