Provided is a braking control device that, while maintaining braking force responsiveness, can easily suppress the occurrence of brake dragging when not braking. The present invention is a braking control device that can be applied to a fluid pressure braking force generation device and has a mechanical-type drive fluid-pressure generation device for outputting fluid pressure corresponding to pilot fluid pressure to a drive fluid-pressure chamber, and an electrical-type pilot fluid-pressure generation device for outputting a desired fluid pressure to a pilot fluid-pressure chamber, wherein the following are provided: a determination means for determining whether the operation input of a brake operation member is no more than a prescribed value; and a pilot fluid-pressure control means that, in a case where it was determined by the determination means that the operation input is no more than a prescribed value, controls the pilot fluid pressure generation device to generate in the pilot fluid-pressure chamber a preliminary pilot fluid pressure set to a value such that the fluid pressure inside a wheel cylinder is maintained at substantially atmospheric pressure.
