A common rail fuel injection device for ensuring the main injection start timing by correcting a pulse start time of a main injection command pulse, in accordance with the length of an interval between the main injection and a pilot injection. The recovery degree of current energy for driving an injector varies in accordance with the length of the interval Tint from a pilot injection end (T4) to an main injection start time (T6), and this variation affects the main injection start time. By taking a longer value for an injector drive delay time (Td) as the length of the interval Tint is shorter, a pulse start time (T5) of a main injection command pulse CPm for performing the main injection is corrected as a more advanced timing, and hence the fuel injection for the main injection can be performed at a prescribed injection start timing.
