The invention provides a control device for a hybrid vehicle. When the hybrid vehicle travels from the departure point to the final destination via the transit point, the number of warm-up of the catalyst provided in the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine is reduced. The control device of the hybrid vehicle is equipped with a driving plan generating part setting a driving mode, an output control part controlling outputs of the internal combustion engine and the motor, and a lower limit value setting part setting a lower limit value of a state of charge of the battery. The driving plan generating part divides a plurality of routes into pluralities of sections, and sets driving modes of all sections of at least one route to an EV mode. If an actual state of charge of the battery becomes lower than the lower limit value, the output control part changes the driving mode so that the actual state of charge is maintained or becomes higher. The lower limit value setting part lowers the lower limit value at an EV route, compared with a non-EV route other than the EV route.
