PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lane follow-up control device that can suppress drivers from feeling discomfort.SOLUTION: A target lateral position setting unit 14 is configured to maintain offset processing in a first adjacent vehicle X1 until the offset processing is implemented with respect to a second adjacent vehicle X2 when the offset processing is being implemented with respect to the first adjacent vehicle X1, and a distance between the second adjacent vehicle X2 travelling right in front of the first adjacent vehicle X1 and the first adjacent vehicle X1 is equal to or less than an inter-vehicle distance threshold, and a lane width direction distance between the second adjacent vehicle X2 and a running lane R1 of an own vehicle V is equal to or less than a lane width direction threshold.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】ドライバが違和感を覚えることを抑制可能な車線追従制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】目標横位置設定部１４は、第一隣接車両Ｘ１に対してオフセット処理を行っている場合であって、第一隣接車両Ｘ１の直前を走行する第二隣接車両Ｘ２と第一隣接車両Ｘ１との距離が車間距離閾値以下、且つ第二隣接車両Ｘ２と自車両Ｖの走行車線Ｒ１との車線幅方向距離が車線幅方向閾値以下のときは、第二隣接車両Ｘ２に対してオフセット処理を行うまで、第一隣接車両Ｘ１におけるオフセット処理を維持する。【選択図】図２
