PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle seat control device capable of accurately adjusting a position of a seat element on the basis of a body behavior of an occupant with a simple configuration.SOLUTION: A control device detects presence or absence of a contact state at each of a plurality of detection positions set on a seat. The control device detects deflection of a seat load in an operation direction of a seat element. Further, the control device specifies a body behavior of an occupant seated on the seat on the basis of a detection result of the deflection of the seat load and a detection result of the contact state at each detection position. Position adjustment control of the seat element corresponding to a specified body behavior is executed. The control device compares a detection value Wr of a seat backward load detected by a load sensor with a reference value Wr0 to detect the deflection of the seat load. The control device corrects the reference value Wr0 on the basis of the detection value Wr detected at a prescribed timing.
