The present invention relates to a boom cylinder control circuit for a construction machine, and includes: a boom cylinder which has an ascending-side chamber and a descending-side chamber; a boom control unit which provides a working fluid to the boom cylinder; a boom operation part which is operated to drive the boom cylinder by providing a pilot working fluid to the boom control unit; a first floating valve which allows the descending-side chamber and the ascending-side chamber to selectively communicate with or be shut off from a first drain line; a second floating valve which is additionally provided in a flow path between the descending-side chamber, which is connected with the first drain line via the first floating valve, and the first drain line, allows the descending-side chamber to communicate with the first drain line, or shut off discharge of the working fluid from the descending-side chamber to the first drain line, and allows of a reverse flow; and a floating selection operation part 10 which provides an operation signal so that the first floating valve and the second floating valve are switched in a direction in which the first floating valve and the second floating valve are communicated or shut off.
