Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for controlling uplink power, so as to solve a problem that in a scenario of double connections, when a terminal performs uplink transmission, there is no corresponding solution to control uplink power. The method in the present invention comprises: a terminal determining uplink information to be sent on an uplink carrier, the uplink information comprising uplink information corresponding to a first base station and uplink information corresponding to a second base station; and the terminal determining, according to at least one group of power control parameters pre-configured for calculating transmit power of an uplink channel bearing the uplink information, transmit power of at least one uplink channel bearing the uplink information, and sending corresponding uplink information on the at least one uplink channel of the uplink carrier according to the transmit power of the at least one uplink channel. It is ensured that the terminal uses more appropriate transmit power on the uplink carrier to send uplink information of different base stations, thereby avoiding power limitation and improving power utilization and transmission efficiency.
