A fuel injection control device and a fuel injection control method for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention correct a basic pulse width by a cylinder-specific correction value that is based on injection variations among fuel injection valves to specify a cylinder-specific pulse width, determine whether or not a split number is acceptable based on a minimum pulse width and a pulse width per one injection calculated from the cylinder-specific pulse width and the split number to modify the split number based on a result of the acceptance determination, modify an acceptance determination reference value which is used in the acceptance determination based on the correction value for each cylinder, and execute split injection based on the split number, the basic pulse width, and the correction value for each cylinder.
