In a vehicle brake control device for generating rear wheel braking torque by an electric motor, “slip suppression control of the rear wheel” for reducing rear wheel braking torque by controlling the electric motor is executed based on a slip state quantity of the rear wheel. Further, “sudden-stop control” for rapidly stopping electric motor rotation motion is executed based on a slip state quantity of a front wheel. The sudden-stop control is executed when rear wheel slip suppression control is not being executed. As the sudden-stop control, “control for changing an energization amount of the electric motor stepwise to an energization limit value set in advance corresponding to a deceleration direction of the electric motor” may be executed. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress excessive rear wheel slip due to inertia influences or the like of the electric motor when execution of the rear wheel slip suppression control is started.
