A focusing control device includes: a sensor as defined herein; a first correlation value generation unit as defined herein; a second correlation value generation unit as defined herein; a first phase difference amount measurement unit as defined herein; a second phase difference amount measurement unit as defined herein; a target position determination unit that selectively performs a first process of determining a target position of the focus lens based on the first phase difference amount and a second process of determining the target position of the focus lens based on the second phase difference amount, based on the correlation values acquired by the first correlation value generation unit and the correlation values acquired by the second correlation value generation unit; and a lens driving control unit that drives the focus lens to the target position determined through the first process or the second process.
